Does anyone know how to map the My Documents folder in Windows 2000 to a users home directory on a Novell server? I have tried several variables like %userprofile%, %loginname%, %loginid%, etc... and cant get any of them to work. I have gotten them to work while I was logged in using a varible but when I copy my profile to the default users profile when a user logs in and trys it looks for my home directory.

Map everyone's home directory to a common letter via login scripts then put My docs to that letter's root.

I tried that also. Maybe I did something wrong. So say for instance a users home dir is H:\Home\<userid>
Map my documents to H:
Is that right?

In their login script have 'map h: \\blah\homedir\%user%' and point My docs to h:\

I don't know the NetWare syntax for the login script, but I'm sure you have it somewhere.

Since the My documents folder is dynamic with each new user, I have had no success moving it with a login script.
you have to manually rigth mouse click on the folder and move it to their home drive.

The good part is that once you do this, it will stick in their profile.
