strange behaviour with user profile folder


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

We map the "my documents" folder as follows \\server1\users

\UserLogOnName

 

 

Today I was browsing through \\server1\users (using windows explorer)

when I saw a folder with the name \\server1\users\documents (The icon

was changed to the "my documents" icon).

 

 

When I double-clicked on the "documents folder" the path in windows

explorer changed to the correct name \\server1\users\UserLogOnName!

 

 

Why did the name of the folder change from "UserLogOnName" to

"Documents"???

 

 

Thanks for your feedback, Dani

Using folder redirection via group policy?

This is normal. Nothing to worry about.

we redirect the documents folder via policy to %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%

 

I think the behaviour is not normal, since it is only the case for

view users...
