Default How do I Hide the "User's Documents" folder from Other Users?

Hello,

I am trying to setup a Windows XP Professional SOE.
I have the OS partition formatted as NTFS.
The Novell Client Version 4.83SP2 is installed.

Users are dynamically created as they login, via a Dynamic
Local User Policy within an associated Zenworks 3.2 Policy
Package. (Users log into a NetWare 5.1 Edirectory network)

When I open the NT/XP explorer, there are 4 folders
showing under the drive mappings.
These a
Shared Documents
username1's Documents
username2's Documents
username3's Documents
When I open the "username's Documents" folders I can
see a shortcut to the user's "My Pictures" folder. Our
users will freak if they see other user's folders, or see
that other users can see their folders. How can I suppress
the "username's Documents" folders from appearing?
(ALL Users are ADMIN users.)

More Info: After I created my first User and set the
settings how I wanted them, I logged the user out, logged
in as an admin user, and copied the user's profile to the
Default User's profile directory. Now all new users get
the settings I want.

Does anybody know how to hide those"username's Documents"
folders?

Thanks,
Gary.
