We've seen this behavior here and we don't use terminal services or rdp so I'm thinking Vista will do this and maybe win7.
Care to share your script? I wouldn't mind setting that up as a scheduled task. I've also deleted the desktop.ini file a few times and the workstation has rebuilt it but not correctly.

There are 2 fixes. 1. You can delete the desktop.ini file and it will rebuild correctly 2. We have a script that looks at the file and then makes the corrections. We run it only when we notice a lot of document folders. We believe that the issue is with using a terminal session or RDP to connect to your network. Generally once it is fixed for a user we do not have to fix that user again.

I've seen some kind of video bug that only happens when RDP'ing in from a Vista box. When the name column is set to full width (usually by double-clicking the title bar) many of the names show up funny. If you narrow the name column down in the view, it shows the folder names correctly. Can't remember if it was discussed on this list or another last year. Come to think of it, I used to see this all the time, and have not had it happen since reinstalling my machine on W7. -Bonnie From: Klint Price [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 8:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 2008 User Shares called "Documents" I am having the same issue on a windows 2003 domain. I have not had time to troubleshoot, but am interested to know if one of my Jr's made a change to the AD.

AD is used to point home drive U: to \\servername\users\%username% Now when I look in the "users" folder I see this Behind those folders that appear as "Documents" in the list are actually users' folders. How can I make them appear with the actual user's name?
