Not to vear off topic - too late - but how are we as administrators supposed to manage "libraries"? I can see it now, user calls and says "I lost my documents, they were in my library last". That could be anywhere. I must be missing the big picture but I don't see how libraries are any improvement over standard drive letters or a sharepoint (or like) portal. And Libraries really do need to have some sort of GPO add-on so they can be enabled/disabled/redirected. Feel free to enlighten me. How are you folks managing libraries? Do you provide your users instructions?

This has been creating some issues for how we've been storing user files on our Windows 2003 server. Long ago we created a shared directory structure for storing user's files.<o:p></o:p> \\main-ms1\users\<username><o:p></o:p> We'd then redefine their "My Documents" folder to point to this directory. Everything worked well. With the introduction of Windows 7, things are not working consistently. For instance, when I view the user directory structure above from the Windows 2003 server, I see multiple instances of "Documents" folders. These have replaced the directories. They have different icons associated with them as opposed to the Win XP Pro users. It's some kind of alias you try to create a directory name for one of the Windows 7 users, it errors out saying the directory already exists. If you try to rename the Documents folder to the username, it doesn't produce an error but the folder name continues to be displayed as Documents. Now if I navigate to this directory structure from Windows 7 PC, the folders that display as "Documents" on the Windows 2003 server display as "My Documents". Is there a setting to fix or change the display of the directory name back to the actual folder name?
