Mapping My Documents Folder

NT4 PDC, XP Pro / Win2000 clients

Hi

All users in our company have a personal drive - U: - which is mapped via
the login script

What I would like to be able to achieve is that each users' My Documents
folder is redirected to their personal share on the server.

Is this possible? if so can anyone point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

If you right click on the My Documents folder and select properties, you
can define the path there for where you want this folder to map. So you
could just change it to "U:\My Documents" and that would change the
location.

There is also a move button on this page you can use to automate moving the
current location to the new location.

I hope this helps.

Does this exist in NT4?

I know it does for 2k and XP - not sure about for NT 4.0 though.

I do think you can do it in NT 4.0 through a policy though.
