Btw, there are 2 locations in the user registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
The value of "Personal" should be the path to your My Documents folder.
So yes, you could use those registry locations to change the path, however that still doesn't explain why it won't let you change it normally..
"Thanks for your quick response. I could use a little more information. User Configuration on the server, or on the Control Panel? I'm a little lost."
It could be in either. On the local computer, local group policy is set by running gpedit.msc
On the server side for domain group policies it would be in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
There is also a group policy under User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop in gpedit.msc called "Prohibit user from changing My Documents path".
If that was set, it would stop you from being able to change the location as well.
Last of all, take a look in regedit under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer for a value named "DisablePersonalDirChange"
If it exists, either set it 0, or delete it.
