Search through the registry on the client machine - make any instance of "c:\my documents" point to "h:\" You could create a .reg file to make these changes, then apply them to each machine. Then you need to train the users to save their personal shit^H^H^H^Hstuff on H drive (Home drive) and stuff that is shared on S drive (shared drive) Tell them that anything they choose to save on their C drive is not backed up and dire things will happen if they don't use H and S drives. Here's my home /netlogon/logon.bat -------------------------- @echo off net use h: /h net use s: \\caffeine\shared net use t: \\caffeine\tmp net time \\caffeine /set /y net use lpt2 \\caffeine\lp \\caffeine\netlogon\rwhodwin.exe exit rem this script requires control M chars at the end of each line rem that is - it must be a DOS batch file. ----------------------------- This line might do better for use as the H: mapping net use h: \\caffeine\homes On Sat, 2002-11-30 at 10:33, Andrew J Sands wrote: > > I'm back..... > > For the "professional" site admins on the list, would it be possible > for you to share thoughts or ideas on SAMBA client logon > scripts...what you use?
