Hi Neil,

Disabling My Docs completely or substituting it completely is my aim. The
folder rediredtion doesn't take care of all the little application
nuances....My Docs still resides in the user profile therefore exposing the
servers system partition.

As for documents explaining registry structures, no I don't have what I
think your looking for...I'm just tinkering and looking for a catch all
solution to this problem so I thought Classes Root would be a good place to
start, given that HKLM does not dictate all shell folder structures at an
application interface level for all users.

It doesn't seem to "break" the box, and does take effect for some users, but
not all.  I haven't tried it on a new build yet before users get a chance to
log in...I suspect (hope) this is the answer, but I'm stuck up in Aberdeen
at the minute and will not have a chance to do this until next week.

Jamie

Don't know - never tried.

Not sure I'd want to be trying via such means, unless you've got some
documents that explain the registry structures? Do you?

Are you trying to disable My Documents completely?

Personally I find it a reasonable convention, for the users - but is that
your aim?

> Neil, I would be interested in any comments you have on this.

Could you elaborate, a bit, where you're going with this, and what you're
trying to achieve? Is it to disable My Documents, completely from the
interface and all apps?

Neil
