Exclude My Music from Folder Redirection

[Guest Robert Dadomo]

Does anyone have a script whereby the My Music folder is omitted from the Folder Redirection policy. I found a vbscript:

 

' Variable Initilisations

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

strUsername = objNetwork.UserName

sUser = objNetwork.username

strUserName = objNetwork.UserName

strRegKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ex plorer\User Shell Folders\My Music"

strRedirectionPath = "%USERPROFILE%\Personal Data\My Music"

 

' Write the new Favorites path

objShell.RegWrite strRegKey, strRedirectionPath

 

' Variable Destruction

Set objShell = Nothing

Set objNetwork = Nothing

 

When I log in to test, I can see the registry key has been changed to '%USERPROFILE%\Personal Data\My Music'. However, when I navigate to 'My Music' in the My documents folder it still appears to be saving to the server and the name of the folder appears as '%s's Music'.

 

My main aim is to have a shortcut in the user's my documents folder, whereby they click the my music link and it goes to the users local profile.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Many Thanks

 

Can any kind soul help me to where I'm going wrong?

 

Many thanks

"public.windows.server.scripting" would be a much better group for this

question.
