We are looking to move towards re-directed folders but due to having many sites on standard ADSL lines we want to avoid the initial automatic copy of user data to the shared drives. To get around this I have setup a PowerShell login script that will make a folder on a shared drive for the user set permissions and then map it to the computer. Now I want to force people to use this share instad of using there local documents and encourage people copy there local documents over to the share at a 'convenient' time for them. To do this I wanted to change the permissions on the following folders, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos icacls %userprofile%\documents /inheritance:r /t /c /q icacls %userprofile%\documents /grant %username%:(RX) /t /c /q It appears to work on Documents but I get access denied on the rest, I cant see why I am getting access denied and have tried this while logged in as an administrator. Any ideas how I can make there folders read only? Rob

Hi, Maybe the current user has not the permission to access; I suggest you try to take the ownership of the following folders: Music, Pictures, VideosAlex Zhao TechNet Community Support
