We have a domain/AD setup, no roaming folders. Most computers are used by one person, some are shared by different people with different responsibilities, and some are shared by different people with the same responsibilities.
My question is regarding the last type. I know I can create a folder under C:\Users\Public\Desktop
, make it writeable for all users, and they can share stuff in it, but it would be much simpler and less error-prone if I can somehow set these particular computers such as the Desktop folder/library of any user who logs in on them point to the same folder.
The users can maintain personal Documents/AppData/Music etc... But their desktop folder is the same as for everyone else using this computer.
Is such thing doable?
C:\Share
and place a shortcut for it on the user desktop?mklink
but educating your users is probably the better option. see also the following question as it might have an answer: Can you change the location of the Desktop folder in Windows?
