It may be… Or perhaps the easiest way would be to consolidate all of the user’s
My Documents directory to a share or two. This makes it easy to quantify,
backup and manage.
If every user’s directory is in a different location (and I don’t mean
\\server\users\%username% <file:///\\server\users\%25username%25> , of course
user has to have a unique folder) then how would qualify each user’s location?
If your able to qualify that Bob goes here and Nancy goes here then you can
create a script.

Thanks all for the input. I thought it was going to be easier. Maybe the
quickest is looging as the user.
Regards,
Javier.

That's the long way but if they all have a different path and you can't script
it or use a gpo, then manually us about all that is left

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.

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.
