The best way I've found to configure a Citrix/Terminal Server configuration is to create a user folder on the Terminal Server that get's mapped as a root for every user. So \\Server\UserFolders\Perry would get mapped as M: for me, as would \\Server\UserFolders\Tracy get mapped for you.

Then any type of user folder referencing you need to do only has to go to M:
