Folder Redirection

[OroITDirector]

I have a Windows 2003 SP2 DC and a Windows 2000 SP4 DC in a mixed domain, obviously. The other day, a user logged on and somehow has Folder Redirection enable for his Desktop, My Documents, and the other 2 that I can't remember at this time. It was mapped to a location on our file server that the user states has never accessed. It was defined in a group policy for the OU the user was in. Can a user turn that type of feature on, or change the Group Policy. I am the admin and have never set it up in the OU Group Policy. I moved the user out of the OU, but I want to be sure that folder redirection is not occuring still. I made the changes in the Group Policy to no policy set, or disabled, but I am just confused as how it happened.

By default, only Domain Admins have access to amend/create group policies and Authenticated Users only have "Read" and "Apply Group Policy" rights

For a standard user to amend a GPO, they'd need to have rights higher than the default rights AND... they'd need a way to amend the GPO, through "Active Directory Users & Computers" for 2000 and the "Group Policy Management Console" for 2003
