I'm afraid I don't know why your exclusion isn't working.

The "show folder owner's name" feature is introduced by Windows. The hidden
"Desktop.ini" file in the user's "My Documents" folder contains an Owner=
key which sets the display name.

So, if you make the line:

Owner=Pickles

And you then look at the parent folder in Explorer, you'll see a folder
named "Pickles's documents". Sorta silly.

See

for more info on this feature.

I can accept that that may be the case (I did check on the commandline and
what you say is true), however my AD Group Policy excludes "My Documents"
from the roaming profile, and it works with W2K and Office 2K, however the
XP Pro PC's (with Office 2003) do NOT respect this group policy (other GPO
are respected) and let the "My Documents" which appears visually as
username
Documents to copy to the network copy of the roaming profile! The network
copy is called My Documents at commandline, again disconcerting as how can
we trust what we see now!
I can also say that according to my test it deesn't appear to be a Windows
feature, the folder only changed name when I started Word 2003 for the
first
time.
Where is there info on this 'visual feature' that is supposedly causing
this
problem as I'd like to turn it off!!!
