Redirect My Docs

[jockojem]

Hi

I wondered if someone can help. I want to be able to redirect My Docs out of the profile and map it to a network share for my Citrix users.

We run W2K MF1.8 with regular NT system policies (ie not AD).

I have tried amending the path at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal

However this doesn't seem to work. Anyone any successful ways of doing this? A custom ADM they want to share?

Any help VERY gratefully recieved - this is driving me NUTS!!! :-(

Create a file called "MyDocs.vbs" and cut and paste the following in it:

************************************************************

dim wshell
set wshell = wscript.createobject ("wscript.shell&quot
dim wshnetwork
set wshnetwork = wscript.createobject ("wscript.network&quot
dim username
username = wshnetwork.username
dim userpath
userpath = &quot;\\<server>\<share>\&quot; + username
wshell.regwrite &quot;HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\user shell folders\personal&quot;, userpath
dim exists
dim fso
set fso = createobject (&quot;Scripting.filesystemobject&quot
exists = 0
dim newfolder
newfolder = &quot;\\<server>\<share>\&quot; + username

exists = 0

************************************************************

You need to change <server> to your server that will host the home directory share and also change <share> to the name of your home directory share.

You can put this in their startup folder or include a link to the file in a logon script.

This worked for me for a long while but now I've upgrade to AD and it works great! Upgrade your domain if you can because Group Policies rule!

Thanks Jeremy.

I can get this to work with a fresh, brand new profile - but not with an exsiting one.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
