If anybody can help with this problem I will be grateful.We map windows? " My Documents " folder to our Data server and rename the folder to " Work Documents " but we have a problem where sometimes it loses the redrect and defaults to c:\documents and setttings\user .Can anybody tell me what causes this problem and how to solve it.At the moment i am mapping a folder to H:\ and make it available offline but this does not work lekker as most applications default file location to My Documents folder.

I do not move the contents of the folder, i just mapp the My Documents to user's server folder ( eg: \\servername\usersfolder\username )
I see on the article they map My Documents to a local PC drive but I need to map it to the server drive and create an offline cache. I am able to do it but once in a while it defaults to its original location.

you are working offline and it can't find My Documents. It has to change the location back to default, or things just wouldn't work at all.

In order to get this to work, you're going to have to give up the idea of allowing Work Offline.
