Moving the 'My Documents' folder 1

[DantanaSwat]

Im in an NT 4.0 domain with 2000 and xp workstations. As of now there are two servers with the users home directories and I am trying to move all of the home directories onto one server as well as change everyone's 'My Documents' folder to aim at said home directory. Some are set up and some are not. I looked at the below script but cant find alot of documentation...does the MoveHere function change the path of the my documnent folder as well...does the CopyHere?

Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS

No, you would only be doing a file level move and not changing the pointers in the OS if I understand what you are suggesting.

The following article should give you exaclty what you are looking for.

Exactly what I can use..so..users leave for the day...I copy all of the stuff over to said directory and in the logon scrtip insert

set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal", "\\servername\%USERNAME%", "REG_EXPAND_SZ"

This assuming Ive created the folders and set up the shares of course
