Question:

Answer:

Most likely, the largest folder in your profile is the My Documents folder. If you use a roaming profile, your profile is downloaded each time you log on, and uploaded each time you log off, potentially creating a long wait. You can eliminate some of the wait time, as well as save disk space on your computer, by redirecting the folder to your space on the NAS. This will also allow you to access your folder from any computer connected to the Internet.

To redirect the My Documents folder to your NAS space:

1. Right-click the My Documents folder, and select Properties.
2. To configure your folder to open in your NAS space, log on to Hokies Self-Service(http://selfservice.w2k.vt.edu) with your Hokies ID and password.
Note: You will experience a brief redirect when you click on the Hokies Self-Service link.
3. Configure your folder:
   • If you have not set a Home Directory and you have not permanently mapped a drive to your NAS storage space: In the Target text box, type: \\storage.vt.edu\[Your mystore location]\[Your Hokies ID]\My Documents
     
     
     Notes:

     • Replace [Your mystore location] with mystore or mystore2, as appropriate. To find your mystore location, see Determining the Location of My Storage Space on the Virginia Tech Network Attached Storage (NAS). (http://www.answers.vt.edu/ask4help/acctpassword/vtkb3029.htm)
     • Replace [Your Hokies ID] with your Hokies ID.
   • If you have your Home Directory pointing to your NAS space or have already mapped a drive to your NAS space: In the Target text box, type: [Drive Letter]:\My Documents
     
     
     Note: Replace [Drive Letter] with the letter of the drive you mapped to your space on the NAS or to your home directory.
4. Click OK.
5. Click the Yes button.
