Nameles Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'm trying how to do folder redirection (map My Docs and other such folders for the profile) to another drive/directory other than the standard C:\Documents and Settings\%username%. I've found out you can do this through folder redirection, however, it seems as if the only way to set these options for the whole machine and not the current user is to use Group Policies, only available in AD, as there doesn't appear to be a similar option for it in the Local Policy Editor. Am I totally missing something obvious, or is this not possible, or possible in another such way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You could always just edit the registry locations that the group policy sets (hint - group policies are, for the most part, just registry changes)...http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marthax Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) One tip for the future. When it comes to Windows modifications, be sure to check registry tweaks because the guys here at MSFN have created awesome collections of them and you'll find almost anything in there. Anyway, here's what you want to use:;Change location of my documents[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]"Personal" ="C:\\My Data""My Video" ="C:\\My Data\\My Video""My Music" ="C:\\My Data\\My Music""My Pictures"="C:\\My Data\\My Pictures""Favourites" ="C:\\My Data\\Favourites" Edited January 10, 2007 by Marthax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
