Is a lot easier then what you came up with.

Thanks. This is perfect but I also like the convenience of a quick switcher for any folder.

I find that creating a separate user account on my system for each client works much better for this kind of thing than trying to configure every application with multiple identities.

More isolation, less accidents. I use this way too.
