When users log in to our windows domain, a number of disks are automatically mounted. I wanted to change it so that the location of “My Documents” was also changed to their directory on the server. I did it by adding the following lines to my logon.vbs script.
UserName = objEnv("USERNAME")
set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal","\\SERVER\data\users\%UserName%","REG_EXPAND_SZ"
That did it. I probably should also change everything that would usually be in c:\documents and settings\user to \\SERVER\data\users\user. But, since I’m hoping to retire the XP domain soon, I don’t want to spend time on something that will soon change again.
