| Vista Documents folder redirected Good afternoon I have deployed Vista to our workstations and set the folder redirection in the mandatory profile. The "Documents" folder redirects to the fileserver as does "Music", "Videos" etc. This functions perfectly from the end user perspective but when I log on to the fileserver and look at the "users" folder all I can see are folders called "Documents". The folders used to be named after the username of the users and indeed when I type \\fileserver\users\randomUsername it comes up with randomUser's files. The thing is I think its messing up our FTP access and makes administration rather too complicated. Thanks for any help anyone can be. Jo |

| Re: Vista Documents folder redirected I have not tried it using a server, but I noticed that on the local machine the redirection "hides" the real name of a directory and always shows it as Documents as well. One workaround would be to set up the redirection to the server with an additional level. On the server set up something like: \users\joe\Documents Setting the real folder names to Documents would mean that whichever way you refer to it you get to the same place. |
