abillybob Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hey Guys Ok so I found a way on this forum a while back to disable known folders through GPO and stop users being able to see Libraries. Now I need to revert that change due to an issue with Office 2013. I want to use folder redirection which is now all set up correctly. Although after disabling the GPO "disable known folders" and doing a gpupdate /force the end user still can't see libraries. Why is this and how do I get them back, I've spent all morning trying to figure out why and I can't figure it out. Any help will be most appreciated I have uploaded a copy of the GPO as a pdf to see whether you guys can see any problem Thankyouu!!Staff Lockdown pdf.pdf
simpsonj Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Could it be saved in their profile? Try creating a new user and see if they can see their Library, if that user can, then it could be a profile issue...
free780 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I think its a reg key rather than a gpo setting. You may need to tick this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772371.aspx#BKMK_Remove . It depends how you applied it. If it was a script you need to apply a gpp registry which has the default entries.
abillybob Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 I tried this, and the problem still persists? Any other ideas???Could it be saved in their profile? Try creating a new user and see if they can see their Library, if that user can, then it could be a profile issue...
abillybob Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 I think its a reg key rather than a gpo setting. You may need to tick this Configure Common Options . It depends how you applied it. If it was a script you need to apply a gpp registry which has the default entries. I don't think it will be a reg key surely as I used the GPO setting "disable known folders" and copied the codes into that area and applied the GPO. Just to give it a go do you know exactly what registry entries I need to apply? I'm guessing this is under User Configuration - Policies rather than Computer configuration??
