I have a user whose My Documents folder keeps reverting back to the original
location whenever they log on. I checked the Folder Options to see if the
"Restore previous folder windows at logon" was checked off and it isn't. If
anyone has any suggestions on how to correct this, it would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

John,

Which method did you use to relocate the My Documents folder?

Ramesh,

I right click on My Docs and choose properties. Under the Target tab I
choose the Move button and choose the folder I want to be the target. If you
have anything else, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

John

John,

Is the system is a Domain, and folder redirection group policy is enabled by
chance? If so, that might be the reason.

For standalone XP Pro systems, try a registry audit.
