User Profile My Docs, Pics, favorites moved via Location Moveturnedbad
Hello..
I'll try to keep this as simple as I can.
A server I work with has users on it. They each have a shared drive that is their own personal drive to store files on. (It's a folder on the server but appears as a Drive location under network locations say Z)
So I was asked that the users store their My Documents and other files on the server. I was told by a coworker that you can move the folder on the local pc and store My Doc and such via the Location tab.. So I moved it to drive Z.. (Z:\My Documents for example) I moved a few others from their profiles via their personal pc and then said oh I said oh their Favorites can be moved so they can log in on any pc and have it show up.. so moved to Z:\ because Favorites appeared to be a file.. turns out when you move it.. it dumps every bookmark as a shortcut and now that Z:\ has been renamed Favorites but still Z:\.. and everything in Z shows up under IE favorites in IE.... so i attempted to backtrack and restored things back to they were.. the first attempt went back with restoring favorites first.. the last thing i should have done.. when reverted Favorites deletes that folder (Z) on the server and the user doesn't have a network drive now.. Ok a coworker recreated a Z drive but it seems on some users profiles a App Data folder was also transferred (not by me somehow windows did it) .... So I have already reverted everything except for Favorites and that App Data folder that showed up... Any thoughts? Do we need to just recreate that folder to fix it? Do i need to try to revert the app data folder? i'm unsure how that appeared.
