Just looked through what my login script etc actually do and it's not a reg entry that alter the My 
Doc's it's actually my KIX login script that alters the location.

I can let you all have this if you like but looking at it the reg hive below is what it alters. If 
you look at the section "Personal" it is pointed to p:\\ which is the drive I map for the users home 
dir. If you look through you could alter loads of stuff like where Favourites etc are saved, which I 
might start doing.
