Janet Leonder redirect stopped working on Win 7 HP machine
Hi,
A custormer has a ASUS G75 gaming notebook with space for two disk drives.
A year ago I uppgraded the system drive c: to a 256 GB SSD and redirected all user folders to another drive e:.
It worked fine until a while ago when the customer "lost" all his personal files.
The files are still sitting on the e: drive and can be accessed by navigating there.
After alloving hidden and system files to show in explorer I took a look at the now visible shortcuts to my documents and other personal folders. I also looked at the shortcut to one folder that had not been redirected.
The non-redirected folder showed the proper target folder in properties, while the target in the redirected folder properties was blank.
Obviously something happened in the registry.
How do I get the proper target in place again. I suppose there is a registry entry somwhere that controls the redirection?
I should also mention that apart from this, the machine works flawlessly. There is nothing worng with the physical disk structure.
Looking forward to your expert solution.
Best regards
Göran Wester

Sorry for the long silence.
THis machine is out of the country for long periods. It belongs to a young man who studies abroad. He needed to bring it with him as it was marginally useable. He is now on his way back to Sweden and I can finalize this issue and award points.
