Field
Description
Mode
Choose 'Shared' if you want this mapping to apply to all users.
Choose 'Private' if you only want this mapping to apply to a single user.
Read Only
Only available for Shared Mode. Check this option to make the mapped directory read only for the user.
Directory
Choose the directory you want to show.
Redirect to
Choose the physical path where the directory contents will be stored during the user session.
Paths can also be expressed using the environment variables defined in Windows:
%public%, %home%, %documents%, etc
For example, you can redirect %userprofile% to %userprofile%\users as a private redirection; "user1"’s files will therefore be stored in c:\users\username\users\user1
Or you can map c:\temp to %userprofiles%\temp as a shared redirection.
Editing Paths
In order to edit a path, right click on it and choose 'Edit Path'.
You will then be able to edit the path in the 'Edit Directory' dialog.
Deleting Paths
In order to delete a path, right click on it and choose 'Delete Path'.
