Windows Server 2008 R2

This didn't startseeing this issue until we started using Windows 7 in our environment. There is a share with all the users folders in them. Because Windows 7 writes a desktop.ini file in each folder, the folders appear to be My Documents to the technicians. I have been blocking the file with file screening but I feel there has to be a better method.

I don't like having to restrict file creation for these folders. Is there a way to prevent windows from reading in the folder until the folder has been opened? Or is file screening the best method to use. I feel like file screening may be slowing down logins.

The only other method I have found is to create a docs folder inside of the users folder and map to that docs folder. But that would mean moving around 10,000 - 30,000 user folders.

Any advice would be great.

Thank you

Charles
