I am trying to setup a user so when they logon they get directed to a particular directory and its subdirectories. I have setup the user to ahave a home directory in their user profile but this seems to have no effect and they can view the whole of the c drive. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks mike

You should download GPMC if not done already and setup folder redirection using that :)

What is the path of the share? Did you make it an Admin share so that only that particular user can access his/her share? What C: can the user see? More details would be good.
