Hello (Again)!!
I need to hide the path of my home folders using a GPO. Currently if you open My Computer I have three mapped drives:-
Shared Drive (S
Public Drive (P
User1 (\\server\home) (K
I could do with the user drive appearing something like.....
User1 (K
Thanks......
John
Looks like this is what you're looking for. Not sure it can be done with a GPO
Logon Script MapNetworkDrive - VBScript rename

Do you have a 2008 Domain Controller? If so its easy using the Folder Mapping option in that, you can rename mapped drives so we have our mapped drives called:
Home Drive (h)
Public (p)
Drop Box (w)

The process is here : Using Group Policy Objects to hide specified drives
I have done it myself for different reasons and it works well.
Use Group Policy Preferences.
Does work on 2003 Domains and XP Clients (upwards), you need a Windows 7 Client to create/amend the GPO and KB943729 installed on the workstations.
You can map drives, define drive letter, hide/show and even give it a more appropriate label (User Area instead of \\{servname}\{username}$). And finally you get to define targeting, so one GPO can be used for all your domain, with drives letter(s) mapped based on whether the user/computer matches the targeting rule.
Or you could just use vbsripts, though the GUI is easier is not confident in scripts etc.
