| Hello,
|
| Can you check these registry settings?
|
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
| Folders
| Value Name: Personal
| Value Type: REG_SZ
| Value Data: complete path to storage location
| Any modification from the default is recorded in the following location
and
| the preceding path is also updated:
|
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
| Shell Folders
| Value Name: Personal
| Value Type: REG_SZ
| Value Data: complete path to storage location
|
| can you enable logging ?
|
| In addition to logging events in the Application Event log, Folder
| Redirection can provide a detailed log to aid troubleshooting. To create
a
| detailed log file for folder redirection, use the following registry key:
| . HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics
| . Set: FdeployDebugLevel = Reg_DWORD 0x0f
|
| Note:
| The log file can be found at: %windir%\debug\usermode\fdeploy.log
