Supressing folder creation

[Guest Tom]

Is it possible to stop Windows from creating the 'My Picture's / 'My Music'

, etc. folders when user's 'My Documents' are redirected to a server

(through a GPO)?

 

 

 

I would like to have each staff member within a department have their 'My

Documents' folder redirected to their departmental share but don't want a

bunch of 'My Music' and 'My Pictures' folders automatically created.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

I don't have a server in front of me to check, but IIRC, there's a setting

to not redirect My Music and My Pictures. Double check the GPO settings to

confirm.
