If you've tried like me to add a network location to a Library - denied due to it not being indexed (and ridiculously, the link presented in the dialog box, "HowĬan this folder be indexed?", redirects to the base Windows help and how to, "" - hilarious :-D).įorget it, I'm pretty sure MS don't want you to use "Libraries" anymore. (H:\folder should become \\server\folder)Īt least for Network locations. Then, you can replace the network drive letter in the path to the network drive folder with the correct server name. "C:\folder1\space folder").Īlso, if you don't know the UNC server name for the network drive (where \\server is mentioned in the quoted article), you can run this command: net use If it's not working, make sure you have each path in quotes if there are spaces in any of the folder names (e.g. Now you have non-indexed UNC path as a library. I.e - mklink /d c:\share\music \\server\musicĥ. Name the link the same as the folder you created above. Use the mklink in an elevated command prompt to make a symbolic link. Create another folder in the above share. Create a folder on your hard drive for shares.

If I try to do this with a network location, it won't let me add it to a library because I can't index it. I like the Library workaround but I've hit another snag. We rely heavily on this capability in Windows 7 and this likely will prevent us from upgrading to Windows 10 for those users until we have this flexibility. Microsoft, if this is not currently possible, please make it so in one of the next Windows 10 Updates. So is there a way to do this? Or is there a way to get the Windows 7-style Favorites to show underneath or replace the Quick Access feature in File Explorer? Will introduce a number of new steps into their processes and materially impact their efficiency in managing corporate documents. They wouldn't know which link was what, and this will be a horrible User Experience for them. In effect, the user running Windowsġ0 would see 5 "Documents" links that point to 5 different SharePoint Document Libraries. This won't work for our users since the names of those libraries are all the same. In Windows 10, with the Quick Access bar, we're able to add the Document Library links to the list, but can't rename them. The same naming convention to improve the User Experience in the sites themselves, but we are able to add those links to the Windows 7 Favorites list and rename the links based on user preference.

As an advocate for our internal customers and the usage of SharePoint libraries for document control, For that, you would use the following syntax: rename-item " current_filename.ext" "new_filename.I know the current answer might be "not possible", but we need this flexibility in place before moving some of our users to Windows 10.
RELATED: 9 Ways to Open PowerShell in Windows 10įirst, let’s look at renaming a single file. Once there, click File > Open Windows PowerShell, and then click “Open Windows PowerShell.” The quickest way to open a PowerShell window at your desired location is to first open the folder in File Explorer. While we’ll only scratch the surface of naming your files, you can do some really powerful things, including piping cmdlets together to batch replace characters in a filename. Windows PowerShell is even more powerful and flexible than Command Prompt when it comes to renaming files and folders in a command-line environment. For example, to rename the file “Home Movies.ogv” to “First Birthday.ogv” you would use the following command: ren "Home Movie.ogv" "First Birthday.ogv" Although the quotes aren’t mandatory, they’re required if either of the current or new names has a space in them.
