[K12OSN] regfile for redirect of My Documents

[Jason Ingalls]

This may get double posted since I originally replied from an unsubscribed
account. I'll apologize in advance :)

I work with Chuck and we've been working on this issue together.

Is there a reason this doesn't work:

----------

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]

"Personal"=- (this part works, it deletes the Personal entry)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]

"Personal"="P:\My Documents" (this part doesn't work, no Personal entry is
recreated)

-----------

I hadn't thought about trying to replace the entire key, I'll try that
tomorrow.
