I am a heavy user of folder redirection by GPO in our 65 person company. &nbsp;You can login to any Windows 7 machine and your docs, desktop and a few other folders show up. &nbsp;One of the folders I redirect is the Links folder. &nbsp;It's very handy for logging into any machine, opening file explorer, and having all of the favorite places on my network pre-saved in the favorites list on the left (not to be confused with Favorites in IE)<br />

Windows 10 has eliminated this feature and replaced it with &quot;Quick Access.&quot; &nbsp;Quick Access allows you to save your favorite network locations to File Explorer just like Windows 7. &nbsp;However, because it's not a redirectable folder, like in Windows 7, it doesn't appear that this feature will travel with you from machine to machine in my corporate environment. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
And I don't want to initiate roaming profiles just to keep this feature. &nbsp;<br />

Any suggestions on how to leverage Quick Access in a similar way to Windows 7 links/favorites?
