I recently redirected via GPO "Application Data" to network location since we
are going with Roaming profiles and the "Application Data" can get huge.
Everything went smoothly and all the files were moved to
\\server\department\user\application data\ location.

However, we found out that Corel Word Perfect 9,10,11,12 point to the
Application Data folder staticlly to c:\documents &
settings\USERNAME\corel\...etc. When you modify this location manually and
put in the network location in the registry everything works fine, but that
is not feasible when it comes to network deployment of around 200 users.

I attempted changing the location to %appdata%\Corel\..etc, but WP did not
like that. I attempted changing the keys from REG_SZ to REG_EXPAND_SZ, but
that didn't help neither. The only thing I can think of is maybe a script
that will identify the %appdata% path and insert it staticlly to the registry
but not sure how to do that.
 
Well finally we found the solution, if you actually delete the
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\WordPerfect\XX\Location of Files\EN]
registry entry everything should work fine.
