Folder redirection

Hi,

I have an existing folder redirection define in a GPO.
For instance, it redirects :
My Documents to \\server1\sharename\%username%

When I create a new GPO (or modify an existing) and define the same
redirection (I checked _all_ the parameters in that dialog box), it
redirects :
My Documents to \\server1\sharename\%username%\My Documents

The first GPO has been created on a 2000 domain. This domain have since
been upgraded to 2003.
Could this explain the change in behavior ?

How do I remove the trailing "My documents" (short of editing the .ini file
in the GPT !!!)

Thanks,

--Richard.
