I didn't mean that so much... although that is something else... I meant more that if I have a common My Documents folder (and at home I do) if I change the logon script to point to a new folder it takes two logons to have that folder redirected.

I tried manually changing the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal
to a different value. You are right, even with manual modification, the change did not take effect until I logged off and back on. There is obviously some other process that must take place before the update happens. Unless, I just have the wrong key, which is entirely possible.

I'm thinking of taking the approach of creating a "version tag" file in the windows system folder. If the "version" on the machine is different than the version of the startup script (since I don't change it all that often) I'll just pop up a warning message and force a log off of the account... that way if I install any software... or change any registry settings it will be good to go.


It's a little brute force but heck I figure it should work... unless you do find some hidden API call to force a re-read of the registry.

In the meantime, I am going to put together a "plan" for the GPO thing and will post to the list, probably tomorrow sometime.

I'll be waiting patiently... :)


Thanks

Matt
