Hello,
Maybe someone has heard of this and found a trick that can help me.
Problem:
We are on a large network, W2K and WXP machines. We map all users "My Documents" folder to the "Z" drive, which is a share on the server. The problem I have is, when the user deletes a file from "My Documents", it is really deleted off the server, does not go to the recycle bin, and it has to be recovered from tape backup.
Solution (Hopefully)
Is there a registry fix that anyone knows of that will still allow me to map the "My Documents" folder to the server, but somehow trick it to when they delete a file, it goes to the local machine, in the recycle bin? I know that when a document is stored in "My Documents" on the hard drive, and you delete it, it is sent to the recycle bin. I would like to be able to do that while having the "My Documents" folder mapped to the server.
Sorry so long, and Thanks.
 
There is no trick for what you want to do, sorry.
Save local, and run a scheduled backup to the server, that is your option.
