Hello

We use Group Policy to redirect user folders to their space on our File Server.

We have made no changes to this, but since yesterday one of my users has changed from his network folder to his local C drive My Docs.

It is only affecting one person, and the GP is still has the same settings...

I have manually changed his Registry Key to point the Personal Value in the CurrentVersion Shell to the the UNC path for his folder but this makes no difference, and upon a reboot reverts back to his C Drive profile.

When i right click My Docs I am unable to change the Target Path...

Several shut downs later and no joy....

Any Ideas?!

Would reverting to an earlier System Restore (point) on the users machine solve the glitch?

"The client's time was out of sync and consequently wasn't able to retrieve policies. Synched time and all fixed. Thanks everyone".
