Netbeans 4.1 Project Location (Windows)

Hi n00b here, with a simply question to which i hope there is a simple
answer.

I would like to put Netbeans on my classroom pc's for students use,
but as such need to simplify and standardize as much of the
environment as I can, what I need is to be able to set the Project
Location to be that of the users (home space) which is a network
mapping H: done at login, I would like their .netbeans settings
stored on here as well as the opening location when the students
choose a new project, rather than c:\documents and
settings\(username) as it is now.

I found a setting in netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf

# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/4.1"

I altered this to be

netbeans_default_userdir="H:/.netbeans/4.1"

but this had no effect, any ideas??

thanks in advance

If it's simply for education, I would try to get my hands on Netbeans 3
instead, it's much more straightforward.
