redirection: My Documents or "Mijn documenten"

[rvdmast]

Hello
We have a 2003 AD domain with English Windows2003 servers and the
workstations have the Dutch version of Windows XP pro SP2. We have a
group policy set up to redirect the My Documents folder ("Mijn
documenten" in Dutch) to a network (DFS) share like
\\domainname\users\username. This works and a folder "My Documents" is
created under \\domainname\users\username. However, when our users log
on on their Dutch XP clients this "My Documents" folder is ignored an a
folder "Mijn documenten" is created and used instead.

Is there a way to make the GPO-created folder and the one actually used
match? Preferably i'd like to have the GPO-created folder changed to
"Mijn documenten" so i dont have to rename/move files and folders of
existing users and change drive mappings in logon scripts etc...

Folder redirected to \\server\users\%username% will solve the problem, not
creating a My Document folder under the user folder.

That IS how we did it. We entered \\server\users\%username% in GPO.
It then AUTOMATICALLY creates that My Documents folder, we did not.
Next, when the user logs on on his Dutch XP station a "Mijn documenten"
folder is created. Again this is done automatically in the creation of
his profile, we didn't make that folder.

Where is it located?

both the "My Documents" and the "Mijn documenten" folders are created
under \\domain\data\users\%username% where \\domain\data\ is the DFS
root,
users is a subfolder for all users and %username% is each individual
user.
Our users can use the "Mijn documenten" folder just fine, it just bugs
me
to have a "Mijn documenten" AND a "My Documents" folder there.

I wonder, if i change the default name of the My Documents folder on our
2 DC's
to Mijn documenten in the registry (in the HKEY_USERS\.Default hive)
would
that affect the creation of the My documents folder when redirecting it
via GPO ?
