Folder Redirection Favorites Problem Creating %username% Folder

[msperano]

I have tried pushing the ie favorites through and ADM, and a script. I even manually edited the reg files. But when the user logs in, it creates a folder called %username% instead of the users Name.

 

Here is the expample script I am using. That all works and it does set the variables.

 

Option Explicit

 

Dim RegLocate, objShell

 

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

 

RegLocate = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Favorites"

 

objShell.RegWrite RegLocate,"\\file004\Users\%USERNAME%\Favorites","REG_SZ"

 

RegLocate = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites"

 

objShell.RegWrite RegLocate,"\\file004\Users\%USERNAME%\Favorites","REG_SZ"

 

 

Thanks for any help

Here's an ADM file that we use to redirect a users Favorites folder to a new folder under their My Documents Folder.

 

If works for us....

 

CLASS USER

 

CATEGORY "Student Modifications"

 

POLICY "Mandatory Profile Favorites Location"

 

KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"

PART "Recommended location is \\server\%username%\My Documents\Favorites" TEXT

END PART

PART "Location of Favorites folder?" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT

VALUENAME "Favorites"

END PART

END POLICY

END CATEGORY

 

 

Hope this helps

If the above doesn't work then try and expand the environment variable using the correction function then concatenate that to your string.

I tried that adm as well with the same resultes.
