Windows - My Documents - kZo - 2003-12-15
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.
