Default profile

When I copied the user profile that was setup and configured for our
environment it changed the name of the "My Documents" to "mp_hicks's
documents" the same to the sub folder of "My Music" and "My Pictures". I am
unable to change this and every user that log's in gets "mp_hicks's
documents". Where do I change this to get it back to what it should be?

That's not *really* the name of the directory. That is the visible from the
user's point of view name - but if you were to look at it from, say, a
network share - you would see that the name is still "my documents".

Simply make visible and erase the "desktop.ini" in each folder that you are
seeing as renamed. Do this in the "Default User" directories (My Documents,
My Pictures, My Music, etc.) as well - so new accounts start out 'right'.
