  1. Okay, so for some reason that user can't write to the Desktop.ini file that's in that folder... Is the 'execute in user security context' option on for the Preference setting?
  2. Probably - so I'd guess it's a question of where it's trying to write to. Is the equivalent path for %HomeShare% also where users' My Documents redirects to, for example?
  3. %HomeShare% should resolve to the home folder attribute in AD.
  4. Is the %HomeShare%\desktop.ini path valid for your environment?
  5. Bear in mind that this is a user GPO setting, so it applies on logon. Your users will have to log on at least once (sometimes it seems to take a couple of times) before the change is in place for their folder. I'd maybe test it with a couple and then leave it a week or so, and see how it looks then...
  6. What that GPP preference is doing is not renaming anything, but essentially deleting a property out of the desktop.ini file so that Explorer's behaviour of giving the folders a different name is not triggered.
  7. Have you replicated the solution in my original post?
  8. Just had this e-mail through from Microsoft. First time anyone's told me what BETT actually stands for... (Even if it does contain a typo!)
  9. I remember saying that a while ago. Specifically, that it felt as though the developmental level being targeted by this series had been reduced from about 12 to about 9.
  10. … all 10 seconds of the actual trailer!
  11. I enjoyed this one too. Particularly, at the end, I thought: "now that was a Doctor's exit!"
  12. Yes, this one was definitely better. Excellent stuff on grief from Bradley Walsh. We finally had the "companions arguing with the Doctor" moment, and she got to convey a bit of wisdom for the first time too, so this is good stuff. There were a few moments when I definitely believed this was The Doctor, which hadn't happened for me before in this series. If the second series is consistently much more like this, then I think they'll finally have found their groove. That said... I echo what's been said above about the talking frog. It's like... someone who'd read about children but had never met one was asked what they thought might appeal to them... I mean, it's a kids' show (in some ways) so I can definitely forgive a talking frog. I can totally forgive it. But only if you can give me a damn good explanation as to why there's a talking frog. And there just kinda wasn't one... :/
  13. https://www.newstatesman.com/2018/11/quarter-people-executed-witchcraft-were-men-and-other-surprising-facts Gendercide Watch: European Witch-Hunts https://www.purplemotes.net/2015/11/08/witch-hunt-gender/ All concur that around 1 in 4 of the victims were male. The third is a long read but it does note that "about three times more women than men were executed as witches", putting the men at about a quarter. I said that the victims were predominantly female, which at 3 in 4 is true, although 1 in 4 males I would argue is also "plenty" given the total numbers we're talking about. I also said there was no inclination to discriminate as to gender when bringing a trial, of which what happened in Salem in 1692 would be a very good example.
  14. Actually, they didn't bother discriminating on gender when it came to witchcraft. The victims were predominantly female, but there were also plenty of males.
