Title: Can't change default documents folder in WIN7 to point to DNS323 as i could B4
Post by: Leafs29 on November 16, 2009, 06:07:13 PM

Hello, In using both Windows XP and Vista, I was able to change my default "My documents", "Pictures" and
"Music" folder to point to the DNS-323 mapped network drive (so all my machines would save and read from the same source)

With Windows 7 now it tells me it is not indexed so i can't point my folders to now be the DNS-323 folders.

Before the shortcut for My Documents used to be C:\Documents and Settings\...\My Documents, i would then point all of my machines to my DNS-323 directory such as Z:\Volume_1\Share\My Documents.

Does anyone know how i can index this drive to work with Win 7 Home premium or if there is another way to make the DNS-323 network drive my default dir's for my docs, music and pic folders?

Thanks.

see it up as part of a windows 7 library folder.

Yeah it is not NTFS or FAT32 so it cannot be indexed so Win7 does not want to allow it to be part of the system.
