    Windows 10 Folder Location Change


    Hi

    Does anyone have experience of moving special folder locations to a NAS drive using a script.
    i.e.

    Current Location: C:\Users\[username].[pcname]\Favorites
    to
    \\MYSTORAGENAS\Username\Documents\Favorites

    I am looking to speed up the process of moving the special folder location such as: My document, Music, Pictures, Favorites etc with aid of a script.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you

    :)

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
