Windows - My Documents

[kZo]

Everyone is familiar with the folder "My Documents" here is a little tip for network use.

 

<right-click> on mydocuments

 

<properties>

 

<target> Set your target to the location you'd like to save your documents.

 

 

example:

 

Target: "\\server1\users\%localuser%"

 

%localuser% is a windows variable. This will create the folder under the server specified in the X:\directory\users\

 

The folder is created with the name of the person that is logged into the machine that changes that option.

 

example:

 

%localuser% = Administrator

 

Target: "\\server1\users\%localuser%" will create the directory

 

X:\directory\users\administrator

 

This is very handy when dealing with laptops, and roaming users.

 

Windows actually "syncs" the files when you logon and log off. Allowing you to use multiple machines.
