Hi Brandy,
I also want to apply folder redirection for some domain clients only, but
want to take it a step further.
I find that some of my users store large videoclips, songs & pictures in the
respective folders in 'My Documents'. How can I exclude 'My Pictures', 'My
Videos' and 'My music' subfolders from folder redirection?
Also, will it be possible to specify any other custom folders that might be
stored on user's a C-Drive?
Please advise.
