"Root" users to My Documents folder Roland 09-24-2005

Hello,

Is it possible in Windows 2003 to "root" users to their My Documents
folder?

Basicly, I want them to start in My Documents when they open Windows
Explorer, and I don't want them to be able to press the folder up
button.

Thanks if you can point me in the right direction.

Roland

You can use group policy to redirect My Documents to the user's home
directory - I presume you're on a domain.
Re folder up button - don't give them permissions to do anything with the
parent folder that holds their home directories.
