User Folders - Change Default Location

Brink said:

Hello Ganie,

You're snapshot doesn't work.

Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

If you mean to add a new folder to a library, then you don't need to remove any of the old one's unless you just wanted to or moved one of them. Otherwise, you could just include the new one to add it.

Hope this helps for now. :)

My purpose is to direct all user files to another physical drive. That is why I removed the default location and added a new location on the drive location I want. It also works that way. But yeah, I guess I didn't have to remove the default folder, but I just don't wanna see those folders there anymore as I am not using them. Let me try again that snapshot here (I followed the tutorial before about uploading snapshots):

Ganie,

If you used the method on the yellow tip box at the top of the tutorial, then I would recommend to go ahead and leave the default folders included in the library and just include any new folders.

This way if a program saves anything into the default locations, you'll be able to see them in the library.

Thanks a lot Shawn... I will bring back the default location folder. Cheers!

What is UsersFilesFolder in shell:UsersFilesFolder in Setp 3.? I thought it is Favorites when I wanted to relocate this folder but it does not seems to be so.

The shell:UsersFilesFolder is the system identifier for the user folder which appers as the user name in the start menu or explorer.

My question is what the UsersFilesFolder is. Whereas your answer is shell:UsersFilesFolder is ........ Please provide what goes in place of UsersFilesFolder by a spcific example.

'UsersFilesFolder' Does not exist

Welcome to the Seven Forums, Matthew.

When you paste shell:UsersFilesFolder into the Start Menu search field and press enter, what do you see?

Sure, shell:UsersFilesFolder works, but not UsersFilesFolder

UsersFilesFolder is an OS variable.

Option 2, step #3 of this tutorial thread that you are posting in says to do what I mentioned.

Are you able to do what you need to do? Are you able to move the folder of interest?



Churin probably has this sorted out by now. The post that you quoted was from 2009. If you have/had the same question as Churin, then hopefully I've answered it. If you would like to know more about OS variable, we can help you with that too.
