Shortcut to local folder

[Guest TommyD]

I have created a shortcut on the TS desktop to my local drive

(\\tsclient\C\My folder). It works fine but when I log off/on it doesn’t

work. Shortcut is there but will not open the local folder.

 

Any ideas why? I need an easy way to access my local folder.

No idea why it doesn't work but why don't you just map your drive?

Re: Shortcut to local folder

 

Do you mean that it should work even after log off/on?

 

What do you mean by map my drive? Should I share my local drive and map it

from the TS session?

What is your version of TS client and server? Does the shortcut work if you

disconnect/reconnect?

 

Thanks

Yes map it from your TS session. If it's your local drive on your

local machine you may be able to map it via the admin share. Or as I

was not really thinking when i posted before if your connecting inside

your own network or a suitably high speed connection you can use the

RDP client to do it for you. When you open the RDP client click on

options then click on local resources and share your local drives, the

latest version of it allows you to pick which local drives you want to

show up. Then once you connect your local drive will show up in

windows explorer.

Re: Shortcut to local folder

 

I already map my drive (C:) through RDP client when connecting.

I can work with my local drive in TS session, no problem, it connects every

time.

 

The problem is that I need a shortcut on my TS desktop to a specific folder

on my local drive eg, "c:\my folder". Or a better solution to access my local

folder (my PC is not on the same network as the TS).

 

I can create a short-cut to my local folder and it works great, but not

after login off/on.

 

Thanks for any assistance!

Why not make a script that deletes then recreates the shortcut to the

folder everytime you login. You say if you make it, it works, but

when you recconecct it doesn't. This would seem to solve that problem.

Thanks! "script that deletes then recreates the shortcut", it worked great.
