Referencing My Documents in a Group Policy

[MarkD]

I am planning for a migration of ~3000 desktops worldwide from Office XP to Office 2003 using AD/Group Policies to deploy from Administrative Installation Points that include a transform. Some settings are locked down vis group policy. I have several questions on controlling user settings that I have split into separate posts in an attempt to stay organized.

My question: I need to enforce several default file locations to My Documents. In the environment My Documents is redirected and 90% of the userprofiles are roaming. Is there My Documents equivalent to %homepath% that we can use in a Group Policy, to avoid repeated editing in the event of a path change in the redirect?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
