Hello,
I am trying to cahge the location of some user accounts folder to network location. I am trying to do this by going into the registry editor then going to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders'
When i change it to a network location either 'ServerName\Documents and settind\USERNAME\THE FOLDER NAME' this makes no change to the account, and the same result if i map this folder to an etwork drive then in regedit change it to the network drive. If i change it to a local folder like 'C:\DIFFRENT USER NAME\THE FOLDER NAME'.
Is it possibal to change the folder to a network share, and if so how can i do it.
Any Help
Thanks
