Maybe this would work - first redirect those folders out from under "My Documents" to a new folder in the user's profile, such as "My Media Files"
The location of these folders is set in the registry under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Use r Shell Folders You could create a custom group policy admin template so you can set these folder locations in group policy. There was an article in Windows IT Pro magazine a couple of years ago that talked about this, and I think there was a download to a premade adm file. A quick search turns up an article at Petri that shows how to create a template to redirect Favorites and Cookies, could probably be adapted to moving My Pictures and My Music. http://www.petri.co.il/redirect-favorites-cookies-folder-using-group-pol icy.htm Ralph > -----Original Message----- > From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 10:22 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: GPO and folder redirections > > Exactly.
