That was supposed to be "Weird Windows INSTALLER messages"
Sorry...

You are welcome...
I use the same procedure to redirect the user's IE history folder, so that
their history folder travels with them from Terminal server to Terminal Server.
I have guys that visit bid-board web sites, and if they can't see what they
visited yesterday (by the different colored links) then they are lost... but
because I round-robin-DNS'ed my terminal servers, there is no guarantee that
they will hit the same terminal server every day.
And the last thing I wanted was to have the history in their roaming profile...
that adds about 2 minutes to the logon and logoff times...
BTW, if you ever get any weird windows installed messages while using these
accounts, blame it on this registry entry first... the message is something
like "Invalid drive V:" or something similar. But, as a work around, I just
change them back to %USERPROFILE%\Favorites when I need to do an install.
And since users don't do installations (right?) they will never be impeded by
it...
Have fun,

Works like a charm! Also the settings seem to be sticky.
Thx Glenn!
