Every time a user logs onto a computer the get the
following:

-------------------
A change to the default user folders requires your
approval

Microsoft AntiSpyware has detected your default user
folder (shell folder) AppData attempting to be changed
from \\Server\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Application Data to
\\Server\Documents and Settings\mwilliams\Application
Data.

Shell folders are used in Windows to store the default
location for many types of settings and data. You should
block this change if you have not made the change or run
a program to do so.

-------------------

Even though we select "Remember this action" it asks
every time the user logs on. We use redirected folders
and we get similar messages for the various components
e.g. Application Data, Documents and Settings, Desktop,
etc.

Besides being annoying it also gives novice users the
change to mess things up by clicking on 'block'

Any help/direction will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The present version of Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta 1 functions correctly only
when used under an account with Administrator rights on a single stand-alone
PC. It does not at present work correctly with limited-user accounts, or in
a corporate environment. Indeed, in a corporate environment, MSAS might
enable ordinary users to escape some of the restrictions imposed by the
network administrators, and its use is therefore not advised.
