End Sub Now I want to modify it so that the videos, pictures and music go to different drives and folders than the rest. I would like to have the same structure on those folders though. Where U:\Users\%username%\ would hold the documents and others, I would like it to automatically put Videos in I:\Videos\%username%\videos, and the others in the same structure. This would all be unnoticable to the user since DFS would take care of the rest. Any one know how?
