Policies Reset My Documents Path At Startup

[Guest]

I have reset my path for My Documents to my second hard drive. On reboot, our
policies in place at work reset it to C:\<traditional path>\My Documents. Is
there a way I can script a batch file, etc to run at start up (after the
desktop is loaded) to automagically remap my My Documents path ?

I am getting a little annoyed at doing it manually everytime (and I normally
forget the first time each day...duh!) and they don't want to loosen the
policies they have in place. So, rather than fight the fight, I'm looking for
a quiet workaround.

Thanks in advance,
JCH

Are you supposed to be altering your My Docs on a company machine?

If you are on the network just get the admins to change your home drive
directory. Then when you logon it will map to the correct place

You can also ask the admins to have a startup script that maps drives...

All the scripts can be found on the scripting site at Microsoft Technet

They know I am currently making the manual change and they've tasked me with
a challenge to "find my own solution". If I don't, no worries....they'll do
it next week when they have me scheduled.

The hints I was given were "special folder" and start up directory. That
makes sense about the start up folder, but the "special folder" is a mystery.
I know its the messed up name and is hidden, but I can't find it, nor would I
really know what to do with it.

So...what I want to do is simple:
write a .bat file that sits in my start up directory that remaps my My
Documents folder from C:....to D:\My Documents

I'll check out the scripts, but any help would be muchly appreciated. At
least I'm trying.

Cheers,
JCH
