Windows 10 quick access folder redirection free download

 
Hi Greg, Thank you for your help again.

 

How to redirect user shell folders to a specified path by using Profile Maker – Microsoft Support

 

The document targets Windows XP and Windows Server , but the concepts are still the same in The article includes the following overview of folder redirection:.

Step 1 is our primary requirement and step 5 moving existing data into the new folder on the same disk , should be quick and reasonably safe on modern PCs with SSDs. This script defines a function called Set-KnownFolderPath that can be used to redirect a folder of your choosing to a target path and it works quite well.

In its current iteration though, all it does is redirect the folder. My script could do with some additional error checking and robustness; however, it provides the functionality required to redirect specific folders into the OneDrive folder and can be re-run as necessary to enforce redirection for each folder.

Intune allows you to implement PowerShell scripts that run in the user context or Local System contexts. Intune PowerShell script settings – user context. Not what we want. Implementing the redirection script in the user context though fails when adding the SHSetKnownFolderPath class to the script session.

Additionally, deploying the script in this manner will only run the script once – if the OneDrive client is not configured correctly when the script runs, the folder redirection will then never work. Instead of deploying the folder redirection script with Intune, we can instead implement a script that downloads the folder redirection script to a local path and creates a scheduled task that runs at user login to run the script.

That way, we can be sure that the redirection script will run after the user has logged into the OneDrive client and set up the local sync folder in their profile. Additionally, this approach will enable folder redirection to run for any user logging onto the PC. Note that this downloads the redirection script from my public gist repository. If you implement this in production, I would highly recommend a more secure source for the redirection script.

Right now this script is quite simple – it will need to be updated to remove or update an existing script in the event you need to remove the script from Intune and re-add it. Assign the script to a user or device group and track deployment progress in the Overview blade. A successful deployment will result in a scheduled task on the target PCs. The downloaded folder redirection script. When implemented in this way, the script will run at user login and successfully enable folder redirection into the OneDrive for Business sync folder.

The user will see a PowerShell script window – pointing the scheduled task trigger to a VBscript wrapper could fix this. Enable single sign-on in the OneDrive client for the best user experience. For the local redirection option, it is not configurable considering there is not a specific folder to store the \”Quick Access\” contents with the \”Location\” properties. I\’m aware of this GPO settings. I\’m curious, is this going to change?

We use heavily this \”Links\” in Windows 7 and if we are going to Windows 10 we are losing them in reimaging process. Where can I find accurate informationd regarding this?
