Windows 10: Redirected profile folders and Off-Line Files

Hi Folks,I have "Re-directed Profile Folders" as a domain policy, and "Off-line Files" as a portable computer policy. If I have a QuickBooks data file in "My Documents", QuickBooks fails to open the file, searches for a reason, and ultimately reports that the reason is unknown. If I move the same company file to C:\Users\<me>\... then there is no problem, but this is unsustainable because that location is not part of the backup schedule.What's the problem here and how do I escape it?Thanks for the help,Chris.

Paths to profile folders subject to folder redirection

Sayan, thanks for your reply, but what you state is only true if the profile folders Pictures, Documents, etc, have not been redirected out of the profile folder.

In a user profile with folder redirection of these folders, the %USERPROFILE% folder does NOT contain folders / junctions for the redirected folders on a Win10 system. (Win7 systems DO have junctions in the %USERPROFILE% folder for these redirected folders.)

 

Try to login into my profile but am redirected to temporary profile.

In simple terms and step by step how to have my profile not be redirected to a temporary profile. Answers I have seen are too technical. Cannot figure out where to start on my computer to create a new user account as posts suggest. This started the
day I updated to Windows 10.

 

Paths to profile folders subject to folder redirection

On Windows 7, profile folders that have been redirected can be accessed with a local path such as "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures" etc.; the Pictures 'folder' in the profile folder behaves as a sort of junction point.

However, on Windows 10, none of the profile folders appear in the %USERPROFILE% folder, regardless of whether they are subject to redirection. Is there a defined path that these folders can be (reliably) accessed via? Several applications I have want a
folder path to these profile folders, and specifying the actual storage location is rather inconvenient when that location may be subject to future change.

Thanks
