It was set originally as a subfolder. And "My Pictures" is redirected and works, its just this additional "%UserNames%'s Pictures" that is fubared. jlc

But after its made, you cant change it. If My Pictures is not setup as a subfolder of My Documents, it obviously wont be redirected. [cid:[email protected]] -----Original Message----- From: Joseph L.

Somehow the creation of this folder causes windows to forcefully create this non redirected copy of the folder. jlc -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 11:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Redirected Documents issues The only time I've ever seen %username's% anything is when My Documents is redirected to a non-local resource. I've never had an issue with it though, as the replacement of My with %username's% has always been cosmetic in Windows - IIRC. On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:41 PM, Joseph L.
