Posted February 14, 201311 yr FPCH Admin My work computer is on a domain. I am running Windows XP Pro SP3. Because of the large size of "My Pictures" folder I have redirected it to on of my local drives instead of letting it reside on our server (Windows 2003 SBS). I also have redirected "My Music" folder to a local drive, and "My Favorites" folder to the server where "My Documents" folder is also. This works fine with no problems most of the time. Somehow some, but not all, windows updates will change the location of "My Pictures" folder to the server. When this happens I know as soon as I login after reboot, because it will take approximately an hour before the computer becomes usable. The reason for this is that the folder is being moved (not copied) to the server over a 100 base-T ethernet connection. My other redirected folders stay where they are suppose to be, just the "My Pictures" folder gets moved. I have tried to find all registry entries that have to do with that folder location and have only found two, the ones that I changed originally to redirect the folder in the first place. This happened for the 4th time when I allowed Windows Update to install the latest updates last night (2/13/13). This is becomming very annoying and time consumming because I have to move the folder back to the local drive and reset the folder redirection, and the whole process takes about an hour, plus the hour lost after reboot.
