folder redirection and doubing up of folders in user folder

[anthonyx26]

Server: TS Windows Server 2008

I set GPOs for folder redirection but when the user logs in and opens up his
user folder, it shows all the folders in double. E.g., there are two
"documents" folders. One has the regular folder look (it points to
c:\users\%username%\documents) and the other has the green windows standard
folder...and it points to the redirected folder location on the network (ie
\\server\redirects\%username%\documents).

I've added a "rmdir" to the login script to automatically delete the local
C: drive fodlers, but it seems odd that I should have to do this. Is there
a more official way to make this happen without resorting to my "delete
folder" workaround?

cheers,

By any chance was this originally setup under Windows 2003 and you are
reusing or edited that particular GPO?
