    denying access to default users/all users folders

    Hi, we use delprof to delete inactive profiles. However users started
    storing files in all users/default users. Can we use GPO to prevent
    access? These are standard users. Thanks

    Hello wuzzle,

    You can't as far as i know, the default and all users profile are used from
    each user logging on. Make them clear where they have to save the data and
    more important how your backup policy is and which files will not be backed
    up, of course that profiles.

    Best regards
