Server 2008 R2 Group policy - hiding Documents folder

[flashsnaps]

Hi all,

 

We have Server 2008 R2 with windows 7 clients.

 

Every user has their own mapped home drive through AD. e.g. H

 

At the moment that is in sync with their documents folder, I want to hide the documents folder so the only place they will have available to save to is H Drive.

 

Any advice?

Any ideas?

just use folder redirection so my docs IS the h drive

I did have this setup......

but in \\server1\user.data where the users home directories are stored.

 

It has created a load of My Documents folders ?

with windows 7 they will show as my docs but they are fred\jane etc

 

to stop this redirect to \\server\share$\username\documents

\\server\share$\username\pics

\\server\share$\username\favorites . . .

 

win7 creates a file desktop.ini that makes folders look like they are called my docs but its just a trick they are still called what they are called (theres lots of threads on here about it)

Or just add the "filename" attribute to the explorer view.

 

That should show the real usernames.

Thanks,

 

I saw this comment from Michael "Navigate to the folder where your home directories are located. Right click in the column 'Size' > 'More...'"

 

I cannot see how to change this?
