Trouble Moving "My Documents" to the network

Hello:

We're putting our first Vista PC on our network. We usually map "My Documents" for our users to a folder on the network so we can back up their data each night. I went to the "My Document" folder properties and told it to "Move" to the users folder on the network. Now, when you access that drive on the network, the folder is no longer named her job title, it's named "Documents". I thought, at first that this was just on her computer while logged in as her. When I got back to my desk, I hopped on her department's drive on the network and sure enough...her folder has been renamed to "Documents".

Obviously, I'm worried about what will happen when we get several machines on the network and everyone's folders get renamed to "Documents". That's not going to be good.

I've exausted all of my resources and have Google'd until my fingers hurt and still can't find an answer.

I'm hoping that one of you know something about this issue and will be able to assist me.

Oh, couldn't find the information in Microsoft's Windows Vista Inside Out book either.

Any and all informaiton will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Magus

magusbuckley,

Personally I would rename the folder and change the target. Last time I did this though It did not rename the folder it put it to whatever I had it at. That being said. Here at geekstogo we are not here to replace your IT department we are here to assist people with Home Use for future information.
