I wonder if you should check these registry keys on the workstation:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Window­s\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shel­l Folders
Value Name: Personal
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: path

Any modification from the default is recorded in the following location and
the path listed earlier is also updated:


HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Window­s\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Value Name: Personal
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: path
