JariI Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 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
