Managing Files, Folders, and Search Methods
You can use Group Policy settings to control how folders are used.
Table 9.6 lists some of the Group Policy settings that affect folders and provides a brief description of each. Before you change a Group Policy setting, you should be familiar with using Group Policy and MMC snap-ins. To make changes to these settings, you must log on as a member of the Administrators group. You can find these Group Policy settings by using the Group Policy MMC snap-in and then following this path:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer.
