graham6282 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Hi,Is it possible to create the environment variable %USERPROFILEDATA% which would be used like with %USERPROFILE%I want to change the location of these foldersDOCUMENTSDOWNLOADSFAVORITESMUSICPICTURESVIDEOand possibly SAVED GAMESfrom HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell FoldersSo that the value would be %USERPROFILEDATA%\Music instead of %USERPROFILE%\MusicI want this to point to D:\Users\%USERNAME%\Music etc. instead of C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Music (note: D:\ is a storage partition on the same disk)in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell FoldersAlso, i notice that the DOWNLOADS reg entry has the name {374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}Is there any way of knowing EXACTLY what that means?? i mean can i do it with other hex names, values etc.This is so i can create a default user profile and then if another user is created, it also creates the D:\Users\%USERNAME% foldersThanks in advance EDIT:I have noticed another registry key HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders which is the same as the one aboveIs this a generic one that gets copied to HKCU ? ? Would it be possible to use this from unattended install??EH!!!!!!!!!!! Confused lol, there is the same registry entry from every folder within the HKEY_USERS location ????Still though, need to sort that variable out first lol.
