Ramesh said:Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
In the right-pane, look for the entry "Common Documents" and double-click it. The data which present there by default is
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents". Change the value data accordingly (For example, "D:\SharedDocs")
To redirect the Shared Music, Shared Pictures and Shared Video folder along with Shared Documents, try this:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
In the right-pane:
- Create a REG_SZ named "CommonMusic" and set its path
- Create a REG_SZ named "CommonPictures" and set its path
- Create a REG_SZ named "CommonVideo" and set its path
None of these value names (CommonVideo, CommonMusic, CommonVideo) have a space in between.
Logoff and login back. See if the Shared folders are redirected successfully.
