Home folders not displaying usernames

Oh no!

There must be an easier way than to rename all the folders to display their
real folder names instead of the word "Documents" and to make sure that new
folders containing users' files are also not called "Documents"?

Thanks for your suggestion!

Replied to your post in vista.file_management

PS to my post there:

Did you redirect you user's Documents folder to this folder? That is most
