Hello,

I have enabled folder redirection in my group policy to point the my
documents folder to the users home dir.

In the My pictures Pref I have "Do not specify administrative policy for My
Pictures"

I was under the assumption that this setting would stop the My pictures
folder from being redirected with the rest of the folder.

However my pictures shows up every even if I delete it.

How can I truly stop my pictures from being redirected with the my documents
file?

thanks

I wish there was a way to just get rid of my pictures, it is just an
annoyance.

But what I did is redirect "my pictures" for everyone to one shared folder
(h:\temp\p). This way it doesn't create the my pictures for each user and
avoids the annoyance of not having the permissions to that folder (for some
reason I have to take ownership and then delete to get rid of the user's
share.

But it is no longer an issue this way.
