Username on 'My..' Folders
In the subfolders of each user's 'My Documents' are folders such as 'My
Music', 'My Pictures' and so on. When you login in as a user and view another User's 'My Documents' they become 'User's Music', 'User's Pictures', where the 'My' part is replaced with the User's name. Is there a way to add your own 'My..' folders which have the same behaviour? I have tried to add a 'My Movies' folder, but logging in as a different user, this remains 'My Movies' even though the others change. It's not much of a problem, but it's one of those niggling things which would be great to solve. TIA -- powerboy http: www.rare-extreme.com mailto: |

Username on 'My..' Folders
These are not directories, but shell "special folders"
The behavior is programmed into the shell extension that handles presenting these special folders in the UI -- Roger Abell Microsoft MVP (Windows Server System: Security) MCSE (W2k3,W2k,Nt4) MCDBA "powerboy" wrote in message . au...

Well it was a nice idea. Thanks. -- powerboy http: www.rare-extreme.com mailto: |
