my Documents target location for XP not changing with GPO

Tags: microsoft, XP, my documents target location can't be changed to new location
Kutyi
thanks for the info.  But I am having a problem changing My Docs redirect now with only the XP computers.  No matter how many reboots they have, the My Docs for the XP computers will not redirect through GPO.  They are not getting offline errors just not able to open their My Docs and I can't change the target location.
I have a question with the script: "D:\" does this have to have a drive letter?  I have mapped a drive to the user's folder with a log on script (drive is in 'My Computer"), so I'm wondering how this will work using the same drive letter.  Or can I just enter a path directly to the folder: \\servername\foldername\%username%?
Hopefully I can use the %username%?
Also users do not have registry editing rights.  How do I run the script with the user logged on with appropriate credentials to edit the registry?
