Microsoft Edge ( Saving Pictures) Defaulting to UNC ?

[2097]

Hi a quick one hopefully

 

 

Downloads is redirected to U:\Downloads for each pupil

 

This in turns sets the default download directory on Edge

 

This is fine apart from when saving pictures , If i right click a pic and do "Save picture as" it brings up a UNC pathway to "My Pictures" . The problem with this is we block UNC path ways .. So in turn ( I ASSUME BUT DONT KNOW ) Edge cant save the pic . If i do "Save picture as" but click the "Pictures" Icon under "THis PC" this then follows the default U:\My Pictures pathway .

 

Im struggling to find where edge is getting this UNC pathway from for saving to "My Pictures"

 

All the Documents , Pictures and Libraries follow the U:\ which is mapped as their homedirectory in AD.

Ok looks like this is a library problem

 

When i edit the library file , to change the location of the directory i.e. U:\My Pictures ( Via notepad) The gui displays this as a UNC pathway instead of a U:\

 

It wont let me edit it via the GUI , it says the network location is not indexed

Yep 100% a library problem

 

Any one got a guide on the best way to edit the Librarys

 

Every time a user logs in these Change

 

I want to direct them to

 

U:\My Pictures

U:\My Documents

U:\My pictures

See attached image stages 1-3 .

 

IE11 also displays the UNC path as the pathway to "My Pictures" but is able to save fine.

For any one searching this problem ..

 

Folder redirection controls the library .

 

My documents folder redirection was to their U:\My Documents

 

I changed this to %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%\My Documents

 

Everything now works as it should.
