From: Sparkybear on 23 Dec 2009 19:48 Hi guys Can someone please put me out of my misery, and save me from spending another day or so wasting my time trying to find the answer. I just took delivery of new server with SBS 2003. Another company installed it for us. They set it up so that when you create a new user it automatically sets up a user folder in "c:\Users Shared Folders" I do not want that to happen there. I NEED it to happen in the D directory. I have read about moving existing folders etc etc. But I dont need to do that cause I have yet to set up the users, but will be shortly. All I want to do is to change where the "Users Shared Folders" get set up, so that it sets it up on my d drive and not the c drive. I would have phoned the company who set it up but they are now on holiday till after New Year. I need to have this up and running by then or else....!!! !!! Please tell me how to change the default setting. Thanks in advance G

The User Shared Folder is created by default when SBS 2003 is installed. The procedure to move it is in here: Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a1d0af69-1287-4225-bd8b-59c89f44984b&displaylang=en You note the permissions on the User Shared Folder, unshare it, move it to the D: drive, share it, recreate the share permissions and then delete it from the C: drive. (Follow the detailed procedure in the document above). -- Merv Porter [SBS-MVP] ============================ "Sparkybear" <u57037(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a10acffee79cc(a)uwe... > Hi guys > > Can someone please put me out of my misery, and save me from spending > another > day or so wasting my time trying to find the answer. > > I just took delivery of new server with SBS 2003.
