    Documents folder Issue

    We are having an issue with Vista explorer. When we open Windows Explorer on
    Vista Client under Desktop\<UserFullName> there are two Documents folders
    listed, one pointing to the Documents folder in the user's local profile and
    the other pointing to Y:\Documents (Y: is a user folder on the server). Under
    C:\Users\<UserName> there is only one listed.
    We have also set the registry value:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserShellFolders\Personal = "Y:\MyDocuments"

    Hi Dekac99,
