    I don't think it is possible to do this.

    The My Documents suffix wil always be present because that' what the redirection is designed to redirect.

    You say:
    ...is it possible to set it to say the root of the personl personal folder ie G:\ as a possed to G:\my documents....

    What do you mean by 'possed'?

    I think he means "opposed".

    This should work fine:
    Right click on the "My Documents" icon on the desktop and select "Properties".
    In the "Target" box, select where you want Windows to set yout my documents to be ("G:" or "G:\").
    What happens when you try that?

    Sinecure.

    Actually, on Server 2003, that works as Sinecure suggested...

    Sorry for the confusion!

    Sinecure - kernel32.dll

    OK I can do it with the Mydocs on the local machine
    But I still can't seem to set it up in GPO for the whole organisation

    No it doesn't - didn't under Windows 2000, and doesn't under Windows XP - just choose your folder, even if it is a drive root, and it'll accept it. I've used this to keep the My Documents folder on a seperate partition.

    Deckie27, I'm not familiar with Windows Server environments, but perhaps this may be of some use.
