How to handle different home directories in Favorite Folders?

[zBernie]

I just got a Surface Pro 7 which has Windows 10 Home. I found I cannot change my home directory from C:\Users\zbern to C:\Users\bernie as I have it configured on two other computers running Windows 10 Pro. So I added the %homedir" variable to the entries in my favorites. This works, but the problem is when I select from the menu File -> Move/Copy/Backup To -> Copy To -> Favorite Folders, the favorites with the %homedir% are not displayed.

Is there a better way to handle different home directories?

%homedir%? That's not a valid variable AFAIK.

I use %userprofile%, which returns the path of the currently active user. The XY help file also lists some handy internal variables like <xypath> and <xydrive>.

Code: Select all

%userprofile%\Downloads 
%userprofile%\Desktop
