Logon Script

[andytheautomator]

Hello all,

I am trying to change the location of the “my documents” folder. I am able to find the current location. Is there any way to change it to \\Server\Users\%username%?

'Dim myPath
'
'myPath = createobject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders.Item'("mydocuments")
'MsgBox myPath

Thanks

Much as I love scripting, why don't you just use an AD GPO to redirect this? Just takes a few clicks.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

Mark

Mark,
Thanks for the post. It sounds helpful.. how do I do it? If I can do it that way that would be way easier.

Hopefully you know how to get into a GPO. Expand out the category for Folder Redirection. Then right click on My Documents and set the place you want them redirected to.

Thanks Mark. That worked great. So is there no way to modify it with a logon script?

Thanks

You could do it via registry edits.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal
