I am trying to point the mydocuments on a windows98 computer to a subdirectory of a share on a windows 2003 server. The subdirectory will correspond with the logon name used on the win98 machine.

The path to my documents should be like this
\\server01\data\asmith while logged on as asmith.
\\server01\data\bjones while logged on as bjones.

This needs to be automated for some non computer literate users.

This is of course easy with a XP workstation

Will Kixtart do the job for me if so, how?

Try this. I'm almost certain the user would have to log out and back in the first time this is done to get the My Documents mapped correctly, but it should be OK thereafter.

WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Personal","\\server01\data\@userid","REG_SZ")

You can also use MS Policy Editor if you would like to apply more manageable policy to a large number of users.
