Group Policy is the best way to set this value. Create an .adm, add it to a
GPO and set the value.
Next best is to write a login script. You could modify *
c:\windows\system32\usrlogon.cmd* or create *
c:\windows\system32\usrlogn1.cmd*.
Sample .adm:
CLASS USER
CATEGORY Custom
POLICY "Redirected Profile Folders"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders"
PART
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEXT
END PART
PART "Setup profile folder redirection. If you wish to avoid the" TEXT
END PART
PART "redirection to the mandatory UNC path's in the default AD" TEXT

PART "group policies, use these instead. Here you can redirect" TEXT
END PART
PART "more folders and into mapped network drives." TEXT
END PART
