Hello everybody, this is my first posting and I hope you can give me some hints and tips. my challenge: I have to change the "My Documents" folder for each user that logs on to a pc. By default the folder is located in the %userprofile% directory. I need the "my documents" on the d:\ drive in a folder called users. So everytime a new user logs onto a pc in d:\users a new folder has to be created by the system. my problem: I edited the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\personal. The value is now D:\Users\%USERNAME%\AllData I did the same for the "my Pictures" folders. The folder is NOT created by the system during the first logon. When the user clicks the first time on "My documents" Icon the folder is created. Untill now there is no Problem. This would be ok for me. Unfortunately the permissins aren' t set right. The local users groups has the permission to read and write documents. But I only want the administrators to do this on all folders. A user should only have the permission to access his "my documents" folder. Not the one of his colleagues. It seems that the permissions for the group user are inherrited from the the folder d:\users. I thougt if I changed the registry values in the mentiones keys an than save the profile as the default profile this should work like I want it to work. There should be the same permissions like on the c:\documents and Settings\%username% folder. my hope: Would be a great help if you have some advices. ore mybe only links and ideas, how to solve the problem. I spend a lot of time in the net and on microsoft website, but nowhere was a solution for my problem. So give your best Thanks in advance, Andreas
