Prevents users from moving the My Documents folder.
This entry stores the setting of the Prohibit user from changing My Documents path Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 (or not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured. Users can move the My Documents folder. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. Users cannot move the My Documents folder. |
By default, a user can move the My Documents folder by typing a new path in the Target box of the My Documents Properties dialog box. If the value of this entry is 1, then when users type a new path in the Target box, a message appears explaining that a policy prevents the action.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Prohibit user from changing My Documents path policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop).
