Given that the desktop folder is a component of the user profile - and as
you mentioned can be redirected. Also, where roaming profiles are concerned,
and for non-redirected desktop folders, the actual folder will be a cached
copy of the one in the roaming profile.
Whether you use normal roaming profiles, or mandatory ones, the DACLs you
apply to the roaming folder, don't get applied to the locally cached profile
(clearly it uses some aspects of the login environment to create this
locally cached folder hierarchy for the profile structure, with DACLs
conducive for the current user) - but - hot tip (and I've not seen this
documented anywhere) - *attributes* are.
So hidden folders, in the roaming hierarchy, get created as hidden folders
in the locally cached copy (even if the DACLs get sanitised) - same for the
read-only attribute. I'll leave it to you to extrapolate the uses you could
put to that ;-)
Note: I can't exactly remember how this behaved for NT4 style profiles, I do
remember testing it - either it didn't work (ie the attributes didn't get
reflected in the locally cached copy), or the user session wasn't tenable.
