In your vbs script, open HKCU, and read the value in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\Personal
This is a string value, and is a result of what
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders\Personal (type REG_EXPAND_SZ) expands to.
This will mean that you will get the correct My Documents path, even if
it's redirected.
As you are already using the filesystemobject, and as it's a string
value, you shouldn't have any problems using the WScript.Shell regread
method.

Having said all that, why not redirect My Documents for these users?
