Seen that here too. Look in the documents folder from the server and there will be hidden file named desktop.ini
Delete it and the folder name will revert back to its' original name. The folder didn't get renamed, the desktop.ini file just changes what displays, icon and name. I have tried but I'm guessing you could put an empty desktop.ini file there and deny the user rights to that file and fix the display problem. I may test it later. From: Bob Hartung [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 10:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 - Libraries We're slowly adding more Windows 7 PCs to our mainly XP Pro stable of computers. This has been creating some issues for how we've been storing user files on our Windows 2003 server. Long ago we created a shared directory structure for storing user's files. \\main-ms1\users\<username <file:///\\main-ms1\users\%3cusername> > We'd then redefine their "My Documents" folder to point to this directory. Everything worked well. With the introduction of Windows 7, things are not working consistently. For instance, when I view the user directory structure above from the Windows 2003 server, I see multiple instances of "Documents" folders. These have replaced the <username> directories. They have different icons associated with them as opposed to the Win XP Pro users. It's some kind of alias you try to create a directory name for one of the Windows 7 users, it errors out saying the directory already exists. If you try to rename the Documents folder to the username, it doesn't produce an error but the folder name continues to be displayed as Documents. Now if I navigate to this directory structure from Windows 7 PC, the folders that display as "Documents" on the Windows 2003 server display as "My Documents". Is there a setting to fix or change the display of the directory name back to the actual folder name? Thanks. ---------------------- Bob Hartung Wisco Industries, Inc. 736 Janesville St. Oregon, WI 53575 Tel: (608) 835-3106 x215 Fax: (608) 835-7399 e-mail: bhartung(at)wiscoind.com ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
