Guest aldz Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 How can I change the "my Documents" location using a regedit (reg) file that our Helpdesk can use with out doing it the manual method? P.S. I know about group polciy and the like but that is not my department so please lets not get into semantics. I'd like this to work for the .PST file as well but I'd settle for the "my Documents" folder reg hack. Thanks, Al
