Palettes do not exist in the cui, just the groups as place holders in the Workspace.
I have 4 discipline specific sets I had to break up with palette groups.
The networked profile.arg file holds the majority of the data to force the local user profile windows registry and fixedprofile.aws to update. The crew here helped me come up with a lisp routine to reset the profile when things aren't right.
Then the user profile resets to intial start settings contained in the profile.arg.
Still needs a "delete" or "detect and delete if present" in the routine or it fails after being ran once.
I just manually check the workstation with VNC before I run the reset.
It does the job I need it to in this format though as often as I use it.

)I usually setup a few local directories on the users C:\ drive in a folder to hold all arx applications so they are not open over the network by multiple users all of the time as well as any personalizations such as an osnaps setting routine.
C:\Profile\Autosave
C:\Profile\Logs
C:\Profile\PDF
C:\Profile\DWF
C:\Profile\Support (holds all arx and personal lsp files)
C:\Profile\Temp
C:\Profile\XREF Temp
On the network:
X:\CADD\Standards (holds all files and folders for blocks & details separated and organized by folders inside)
X:\CADD\Page Setups (Holds all page setup defaults for publishing)
X:\CADD\Palettes (Holds all palettes & images, groups, as well as exported xtp & xtg files)
X:\CADD\Plotters (all PC3, custom drivers, PMP files, etc...)
X:\CADD\Profiles (has a copy of the desktop Icon pointing to the custom profile, & the custom Profile.arg)
X:\CADD\Support (All shared custom lsp, dcl, etc..routines, Enterprise cui's .)
X:\CADD\Support\Buttons (All bmp images for the buttons in the cui files)
The Dashboard and its panels does exist in the cui. You can edit all dashboard items there in the cui.
Unfortunately you will have to redo these if you upgrade to 2009.
The Dashboard was replaced by the ribbon (considerably more resource hungry to essentially do the same thing and less stable though)
