Already abandoned the idea and found a system that works for me. Thanks for the advice

By using your search suggestion, I found an article for Windows 7. It clearly gives instructions for how you can map it to a network drive, so it must be a Unix/SMB issue where the permissions don't match when system tries to move the folder and not the user. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/redirect-folder-new-location#1TC=windows-7 Seems like it's more trouble than it's worth. I removed the folders from File Explorer via the registry and plan on including them in a library instead. You don't really the need user folders anyway.

So I just set up my first Unraid box. After a lengthy preclear, my disks are mounted and I'm starting to move things over. Good stuff. I just formatted and installed a fresh version of Windows on my main workstation. It has a 250 GB SSD and various random physical drives that will be refurbished once the files have been moved over to the server. The Windows 10 "media" folders, like Downloads, Music, Videos, etc, are still in their usual default locations on C:\Users. Whenever I've done a fresh Windows install in the past, I've moved the folder location to whatever folder contained that data on another disk. Now that the server is up, I obviously want to point it to the correct share and folder In the attached image, you can see my folder structure. I've mapped the main shares as network drives for easier access. However, when I try to change the location via Properties -> Location, I get the attached error message that access is denied. I've tried giving it the drive letter location of the network drive, and the straight up \\Servername\Sharename\foldername\. Same result. I have read and write access as far as I know and can tell. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm at a loss and searching here in the forum or on Google have yielded no decent results. Would appreciate any help.
