Is it possible to stop Windows from creating the 'My Picture's / 'My Music'
, etc. folders when user's 'My Documents' are redirected to a server
(through a GPO)?



I would like to have each staff member within a department have their 'My
Documents' folder redirected to their departmental share but don't want a
bunch of 'My Music' and 'My Pictures' folders automatically created.



Thanks,

Tom

I don't have a server in front of me to check, but IIRC, there's a setting
to not redirect My Music and My Pictures. Double check the GPO settings to
confirm.
