How do you redirect C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile in GPMC ?

[Cruzjr]

We are locking down the C: drive in Win10 1809 ENT. We allow FULL CONTROL to %userprofile%\Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Picture and Favorites. However GPMC directs to the following path: C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile.

How can we edit the paths to point to %userprofile%\Desktop instead in GPMC ?

Are you running the Modelling against just the system there, and not specified the user? Those directories are for the system accounts, if you select a user as well for the Modelling, what do you get?

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here. Can't you just use a folder redirection policy to redirect the desktop to the userprofile?

GOAL: Users on Win10 ENTERPRISE systems can ONLY write to 5 folders in their userprofile: Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Favorites and Pictures. I have removed from File Explorer 3D Objects, Music and Videos from being displayed via registry. With a GPO, we want to limit users rights to write/create/modify ANYWHERE outside those 5 folders. System, Applications, Creator Owner and Administrators still have FULL CONTROL. We will then proceed to do (ata later date) redirect/sync those folders to OneDrive.

I'm still not sure what you want to do. If you want to direct the desktop to the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop folder you can use a folder redirection user policy
