Folder redirection quirk???

[Guest]

I've set up in a Group Policy to redirect users My Documents folder to a network share. I chose Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location), then put \\servername\foldername\%username%. The folder redirects fine, but now there is a Windows folder with a System folder under it and a Win text file (win.ini?). Just wondering if this is a default folder that always exists in this situation. I'd really like to get rid of it since the user can make changes to it. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks for any help

If users delete this folder nothing strange will happen. This folder exists to facilitate per-user settings for programs that utilize ini file, that would otherwise be put in the Windows or System32 directories. I (personally) would just leave it there, it's not hurting anything and you may need it in the future
