Change user's My Documents location

I am moving all my users from a Windows 2003 to 2008 server and am having a problem with one user's PC My Documents still pointing to the //oldserver/users/userx folder.   Tried right-clicking on the My Documents folder but there is no Move, etc. option and can't type in the new path.

Also tried searching the registry and changing any references to the oldserver.   User has is in the admin group on his PC so don't understand why I can't change.

Is this a domain?

Do you have a GPO setup that might be in effect and thats why you do not see the move option etc.?

Run gpedit.msc on the computer and check the policies that are local

Where are you seeing the "Move" option?
