folder redirection can be performed quite easily with a .reg file loaded throught the logon script (like explained in http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/realmen/det/skel.en.html) a reg file like below should do it ======== ��Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Desktop"="U:\.desktop" "Personal"="U:" "My Pictures"="U:" "My Music"="U:" "My Video"="U:" ======== Actually you can do quite a lot of things in logon script, as long as they can be launch with plain user rights. I advise you to use .vbs scripts, they are much more powerful than .bat scripts. cheers, Denis > > I don't have anything that mentions the policy file in my samba config, but > according to http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html I don't > need to > (other than having NTConfig.POL readable at \\wilson\netlogon\NTPolicy.POL, > which it is).
