Location of Start Menu Documents Shortcut

[Olliedawg]

Does anyone know how to change the path that this shortcut goes to within the start menu? (the documents icon)

 

We changed our file server over the last holiday, and this is still pointing towards the old one. Removal of user profile resolves the issue, not an ideal fix though. Everything else is working as expected (Home folders etc..)

I believe that they are tied to this location:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

 

Out of interest, have the Windows Libraries all been updated successfully?

Quick check is to look at the Quick Access folder.

Ah ok, thank you - i shall have a look at that reg key & do some testing.

 

I only redirect Documents to the network, so the other folders/quick access shortcuts have been OK as far as I'm aware (downloads, pictures, etc..)

Turns out it was an old folder redirection policy which was causing this issue. I've rolled out the reg key update as well with the value "%userprofile%\documents" (staff all use local profiles now)
