Hi,

I'd like to redirect My Documents, Favorites and My Pictures to c:\docs. Temporary internet files to c:\temp. I'm using cmdlines that points to ./installs.cmd and there I run some registry fixes. Because I want this to effect all users and future users do I make the change in

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] or [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] or somewhere else? Is the location same for winXP and win2k? I would not want to use runonce for this. THX in advance

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

The registry entries under this key are REG_EXPAND_SZ, so you can use environment variables, that saves a lot of efforts.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]

Most registry entries under this key are expanded from User Shell Folders.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
Personal REG_EXPAND_SZ D:\Home\%USERNAME%\Documents

This regTweak maps every user's My Documents to D:\Home\anyUser\Documents.

i thought on change the location of my favourites folder to avoid those annoying MSN, Windows and Hotmail urls but they're still there! i suppose are created during the first run of IE :angry:

i built this for myself

;favorites to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Favoritos
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
"Favorites"=hex(2):25,00,41,00,4c,00,4c,00,55,00,53,00,45,00,52,00,53,00,50,00,\
 52,00,4f,00,46,00,49,00,4c,00,45,00,25,00,5c,00,46,00,61,00,76,00,6f,00,72,\
 00,69,00,74,00,6f,00,73,00,00,00
