Exclude directories in roaming profile - My Music

I am trying to exclude the music folder from our roaming profiles using Group Policy and nothing seems to work.  I have tried:


My Music

%UserName% Music

The entire path



Any suggestions to get this to work?

Use \My Documents\My Music

or

%userprofile%\MyDocu~1\MyMusi~1

This is the answer

My Documents\My Music
This is correct, playing with Roaming Profile exclusions I found that using "\
My Documents\My Music" would not work. You must start your exclusion with the name of the first directory in the users profile without a \.

Eg.
My Documents\My Music

This will exclude the My Music folder from being replicated to the server under roaming profiles.
