<div>
There is no built-in GPO setting for &quot;My Pictures&quot; folder redirection, specifically.<br />
<br />
However, there is a registry key that keeps this information. &nbsp;You could use a GPO to modify this particular registry key to point to the location you want:<br />
<br />
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<wbr />\Microsoft<wbr />\Windows\C<wbr />urrentVers<wbr />ion\Explor<wbr />e\User Shell Folders<br />
<br />
Value: My Pictures<br />
Type: REG_SZ (or can be REG_EXPAND_SZ if you wish to include variables like %username%)<br />
Data: \\server\share\whatever<br />
<br />
I hope this helps.

I just completed a rebuild of my domain, and there was a listing for My Pictures under the My Documents in the GPO. I've never had to touch the registry before. I wonder what's up.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to redirect everyone's picture folder to a common share. I have &quot;My Documents&quot; redirected, but the settings on the Advanced Tab is grayed out. I've created a new OU, a policy within the domain and tried to adjust the main domain policy, but I can't get it active.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help?<br />

Can't redirect &quot;My Pictures&quot; with Group Policy

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
