Lab & ILE Folder Redirection

Folder Redirection

UMKC Information Services has switched over to redirected folders in the IS-managed labs and ILE rooms (from roaming profiles). Redirected folders load much faster at login because there is no need to copy files over to the local workstation. Additionally, your redirected folders will be stored on your Q: drive, so that you can now access your files from off-campus using the UMKC VPN client (make sure to select the client that maps your Q: drive).

For example, anything saved to the Desktop or My Documents can now be found at:
    Q:\Desktop
    Q:\My Documents

The Desktop and My Documents are not the only redirected folders. Here is a full list of what folders are redirected:
