问题
As administrator, I want to change the default location of special folders (Documents, Music, Downloads…) to a different path. I can do this manually, but I would like to have a PowerShell script to do that.
Is there any PS Object that provides functions to do this? How can I do it? Thanks.
回答1:
PowerShell doesn't have a cmdlet that lets you do it out of the box (as far as I know), but you can use P/Invoke to call the SHSetKnownFolderPath shell function. I created a wrapper function called Set-KnownFolderPath that does it:
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Sets a known folder's path using SHSetKnownFolderPath.
.PARAMETER Folder
The known folder whose path to set.
.PARAMETER Path
The path.

function Set-KnownFolderPath {

Use it like this:
Set-KnownFolderPath -KnownFolder 'Desktop' -Path 'C:\'

This is indeed a great function! However, I altered it a bit for my own use, perhaps you may find this useful as well.
# Validate the path
if(!(Test-Path $Path -PathType Container))
{
New-Item -Path $Path -type Directory -Force
}
# Call SHSetKnownFolderPath
$Type::SHSetKnownFolderPath([ref]$KnownFolders[$KnownFolder], 0, 0, $Path)
attrib +r $Path
$Leaf = Split-Path -Path "$Path" -Leaf
Move-Item "$HOME\$Leaf\*" $Path
# rd $HOME\$Leaf -recurse -Force
As you can see here, I first check the existence of the path and creating the path if it doesn't exist.
I left out the "return" command so I can still use the $Path variable. With the attrib-command you can give the special folder it's original icon back. Finally I move all the existing files from the old location to the new. You can also optionally remove the old folder, which I would recommend for not having double special folders present in the User's Files.
The only tricky thing with this, is that Move-Item assumes the old location is at the $HOME variable. Also if you would use the function to change, let's say the Documents folder to C:\Users\John\Documents, it would also remove the contents of that folder, since the last lines of code deletes the $HOME-special folder variable.
But perhaps someone can find a more elegant solution to that obstacle. Thanks again for this gem of a function!
