Exclamation User home drive

Hey.

I am running windows xp media centre edition. i have a couple of maped network drives. i just wondered if there is away to set that as a users default save place instead of the documents on the computer, so then they can get it on any of the computers in the work group...

i have tried going in to the "local users and groups " then selecting there name and profile and then put in the path to the home folder. But it doesnt work.


Any suggestions?

I can't find anything that would let me do that. Have you any more ideas? or has anyone else got any ideas?

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

That's the download link for the powertoy.

Once it's installed, you need to

> Run it.
> Expand the "My Computer" branch of the tree.
> Go to "Special Folders".
> Click on the "Folder" drop down menu, and select "My Documents".
> Click on the "Change Path" button, and navigate to the folder you wish to become the new "My Documents" folder.
