all users desktop shortcut to home directory

hi, the profile path does not really get mapped. If you
want a area for users documents ETC then use the home
folder option and set drive letter to h:

Hope this helps
Martin.

all users desktop shortcut to home directory

Hi Martin,
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I did set the home
folder to the H: drive and it does show up under my
computer as beign mapped correctly. I just can't create
an icon under all users desktop. I need a shortcut on the
users desktop because I have locked out my computer icon
thru group policies.
