Hi,
A custom policy template will work just fine. Eg.
CATEGORY "Folder Redirection"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders"
POLICY "Redirect the My Documents Folder"
PART "My Documents Folder PAth" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
EXPANDABLETEXT
DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\My Documents"
VALUENAME "Personal"
END PART
END POLICY
POLICY "Redirect the Application Data Folder"
PART "Application Data Folder PAth" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
EXPANDABLETEXT
DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Application Data"
VALUENAME "AppData"
END PART
END POLICY
POLICY "Redirect the Desktop Folder"
PART "Favorites Folder PAth" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT
DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Desktop"
VALUENAME "Desktop"
END PART
END POLICY
POLICY "Redirect the Cookies Folder"
PART "Cookies Folder PAth" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT
DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Cookies"
VALUENAME "Cookies"
END PART
END POLICY
POLICY "Redirect the Favorites Folder"
PART "Favorites Folder PAth" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT
DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Favorites"
VALUENAME "Favorites"
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY ;Folders
CATEGORY StartMenu

You can do it by editing the registry with a login script that you use
GPO to launch. As for a strictly GUI way to do it, I have not seen one.
The only options you have are the 4 listed in the policy. This may not
be off much help to you but we use a program called ScriptLogic which
handles folder redirection for anything you want to put in. It is based
on Kix which I know some think is an outdated language but it works for
what we need. It validates against all Microsoft OS'es.

Subject: [THIN] OT: GPO Folder Redirection
Hi all,
Having only used system policy previously, I'm trying to get my head
around group policy on a new 2003 machine we are implementing.
On our (soon to be) old NT4 domain users running NT4 w/ MF 1.8 had a
custom shared desktop and shared programs folder via system policy. I am
trying to implement exactly the same through folder redirection in the
GPO on our new 2003 machines, but I can only redirect the desktop and
there is no option for programs only start menu.
I know I can achieve this by editing the all users profile in the doc's
& settings folder to what I require, but I'm sure there must a way of
doing through the GPO.
Any ideas?
Rgds,
Jon.......
