But to have access to HKCU I have to be logged on as the user in quetion. I could write a script, but every user has a different MyDocuments folder.


Where does Windows 2003 get this values to put on

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal

for very user. Is this value in NTUSER.DAT and I just cannot change it from my account?

Thanks a lot,
Javier.

The registry key controlling it is in user shell folders the value is named "personal"

User shell folders is deep in hkcu. I am not at a computer but can look up the exact path for you when I get on the office if you have trouble finding it.

You can change the value for users as they log onto the server with a script or seed it on the default profile on your ts servers.

Hi all,

I would like to know how can I change the user MyDocuments folder in a TS environment, without actually logging as the user. I do not want to use folder redirection.

Thanks,
Javier.
