Folders cannot perform Group Policy redirection or manual redirection on a Windows Vista-based computer
Consider the following scenario. On a Microsoft Windows Vista-based computer, you redirect folder A to the same location as non-redirectable folder B. In this scenario, you experience the following problems:
- Folder A can no longer perform Group Policy redirection.
- Folder A no longer lets you perform manual redirection.
Additionally, consider the following scenario. On a Windows Vista-based computer, you redirect folder A to the same location as a different redirectable folder B. You move all the contents of folder A to the new location. In this scenario, you experience the following problems:
- Folder A merges with folder B, and you cannot separate the folders.
- Folder A is listed two times in the user profiles folder in Windows Explorer.
For example, you redirect the Music folder to the location of the Pictures folder, and then you move all the contents of the Music folder to the new location. In this scenario, the Music folder merges with the Pictures folder, and you cannot separate the folders. Then, the Music folder is listed two times in the user profiles folder in Windows Explorer.
