I assume this would be done in the registry but am unsure of what or
how to do this.

Currently we keep running out of space on out TS box. (2k3) The reason
is people are saving documents to their my docs folder. However when
this was built the my doc folder was set to the local HDD. So now we
run out of space....

How can i set this so that when a TS user logs in it maps the my docs
folder to a network share? (ie personal folder) I dont mind manually
logging in and changing the current users if i have to.

Thanks in advance
 
You can do this in a Group Policy, by using Folder redirection:

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Folder Redirection
"My Documents"

Since the user profiles can become very large for other reasons as
well (Temporary Internet Files, etc), I would suggest that you give
all of your users a TS-specific roaming profile on a network share,
and then configure a GPO with the setting to delete the locally
cached copy of the roaming profile when the user logs off the TS:

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Logon
"Delete cached copies of roaming profiles"
