during logout, wrong sync problems of user profile share and folder redirection share

Previously I've applied a GPO which contains folder redirection which points to a shared folder. After many changes of GPO settings and renaming of shared folder names for both user profile and folder redirection, during logout XP, the profile sync dialog screen keeps prompting the old user profile shared folder and the old folder redirection shared folder in different lines for user names and passwords. Actually those old shared folder names are not existed. If I login using other users in XP, during logout, those prompts keep unchanged. I thought those settings would be in machine level rather than user level. I've tried removing the affected GPO permanently, but the XP logout sync keeps prompting.

Could anyone pls help to remove the XP logout sync for the old shared folders prompts?

have you tried gpresults to test the gpo's that are in effect?

@debuggerau, gpresult from workstation shows it works.

@dariusg, thanks for the link which helps a lot. Though the sync of old user profile shared folder and old folder redirection shared folder are vanished during logout the workstation from server, the sync of username and password for the new folder redirection shared folder keeps prompting for logout from workstation LOCALLY. How can I get rid of the sync prompt if user login to the workstation locally?

@dariusg, I forgot to say that I have to recreate the old shares to have the sync prompts vanished for the users' logging out from domain after following up of your link.
