Recognize custom user document paths like "D:\Users\USERNAME\"

Post by g2m.agent »

I think most users will migrate "user documents" to other drives. like "D:\Users\USERNAME\" or "E:\Users\USERNAME\".
but XYplorer can only recognize the C drive. this make the Shortcut of USERNAME (in the tree panel) is useless.

But then most users might also follow the M$ recommendation to not move the whole user folder to a different drive which then gives you more than one folder USERNAME on different drives. Set a favorite for your more interesting one and access it that way?

How exactly did you "migrate" the complete user folder?

not the whole user folder, just Downloads/Videos/Music/Pictures/Documents.
i right click the folder -> properties -> location -> Move... then select the new location. like D:\somewhere.

And what does that have to do with the %username% shortcut under "This PC / Computer" in this case?

And I can't replicate any problems regarding subelements like documents, downloads or anything else
at that place (and mine are migrated to D:\ as well).
