    @coliver You would be correct. They can go for as much as a decent used car if you get really silly with the config.

    I'm anything but a printer expert and have not set up Google Print myself and don't know the caveats. So take it with a grain of salt. But I suspect it is a potential solution to keep in mind.

    We have no printer with us most of the year, now. So for us USB will do. But it seems like a nice idea.

    T-Mobile has no coverage around here. Even in Blacksburg and Roanoke it is only GPRS/2G and that's the only coverage. It only works if you live in a metro area.

    Around here, I'm in a tiny village and I've never had better coverage. I can even go miles into the country. I've done hours of driving all over rural areas and haven't see a drop in coverage yet, which is awesome.

    This falls under total Microsoft fail. After a year of telling us that they had moved to Skype internally and then failing to deliver Skype for clients! Microsoft has already admitted that Lync was a failure and that they don't use it themselves anymore because it is so bad. Now, after making a big deal that Skype was the future, they've decided to bail on Skype.

    If Microsoft isn't eating their own dog food on this one, I doubt we should either.

    I fab my own circuit boards using a transfer from a regular piece of paper run through a laser printer on extra dark. Might give that a go onto what you want it on ultimately - nuts to the wax paper.

    Everyone has a reason for what they do. I'm sure Google felt it made sense when they set that up, which was probably at least 10 years ago.

    Making sense often just means being lazy. Being lazy or not bothering are common, logical reasons for doing things. I just wish that the reasoning was better than that.

    I'm not disagreeing but remember that what may be totally illogical to us might make perfect sense to someone else.

    I never implied that laziness was illogical. It's perfectly logical. Their laziness outranked their desire for a good user experience. Extremely logical.

    "Hi! Did you get my e-mail?"
    "Er...no"
    "Really? I sent it last week!"
    "Oh, ok. It's probably in my clutter folder"
    "When do you read your clutter folder?"

    These are the ones that I worry little about. If they're after you, it's too late. Usually FAR too late.

    That would be a message specific to that installer. But my guess is that it is already installed.

    I have to change my mtu to 1350 I think on 3G. I've seen TCP Window scaling cause similar issues as well (and along with) MTU issues, But I would hope never devices would have issues with it as they both seem to be new enough.

    This is what I'd recommend going of what I said above add the Creator owner permission and give full control to it on your "Users" Folder, but set it to Subfolders and files only. Make sure you tick replace child object with inheritable permissions. Then apply it. Assuming you followed the standard convention of making the user folder the same as the username this will be easy to script changing the folder owner. Check out this script: http://www.steelbytes.net/set-owner-rights-on-user-profile-or-home-folders-script

    OK, lots went on today, but i'll keep the Folder Redirection convo going in here. This is where I'm at.

    Share looks like this \server\users$

    Within each \users%username%\ there lives a Documents and Desktop folder

    I've created a GPO named Folder Redirection, and setup Basic Redirect, etc, the folders aren't populating

    Can you post your GP settings for it?

    Also it could be permissions, if Group Policy creates the folder it sets the permission if you create them to populate files you have to set them.
