Dan, If you'd be so kind to post the answer back to the group when you find it. I'm also interested in knowing how you were able to solve this.

(see my previous reply also!) Actually, Ken, I'll talk "off the top of my head" for a second so that you have SOMETHING to go for and "test" while I dig up my notes. As I mentioned in prev reply, I'm not completely certain HOW I solved it (but will find out) but I *think* the answer was a simple registry poke to TWO parts of the HKCU registry key, which obviously can be done in your 'image', using a vbscript, with a custom GPO template, or using a GPO extension tool. My recollection is that by redirecting My Music in the registry it worked just fine even when folder redirection was set up. It may be that we had to deselect the "My Pictures" option in the GPO -- it might have been that by telling Windows not to auto-redirect My Pictures it also skipped auto-redirecting My Music. You can test those out while I find and test out my notes again. BTW, we created a folder in the user profile, %userprofile%\My Personal Data\ under which we put My Music, etc. We excluded My Personal Data from roaming profiles. We put a SHORTCUT in My Documents called My Music that pointed to My Personal Data\My Music so that users who were accustomed to "seeing" My Music there would still see it, but when they clicked it they'd end up in the non-redirected folder. Applications, which are (should be) coded to look for the *variable* (shell folder) My Music, went to the non-redirected folder automatically. Hope this helps you chew on something until we chat.

Hi, For My Documents redirection, if you look at the second tab, there is an option to not redirect the "My Pictures" folder I know that doesn't help with "My Music" Cheers Ken ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arnold Arce Sent: Wednesday, 15 March 2006 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Folder redirection exceptions? Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster ☺ I have a simple question which I’m hoping has a simple answer. I’ve set up a group policy that redirects everyone’s ‘My Documents’ directory to their home directory on the server. Works great, except people’s Music and Pictures are being stored on the server too. IS there a way to exclude the My Music and My Pictures directories from being redirected and left on the local workstation?
