My company recently adopted OneDrive for business and I am getting a bit frustrated with my inability to add existing folders OneDrive for backup/sync, and I can't make the root OneDrive folder an existing folder.
In any case, there is this option to "protect" the Desktop, Pictures, and Documents folders. I did it for Desktop, and I see what happens is it actually moves the Desktop folder to underneath the OneDrive folder, and then I guess does some registry magic to get that new folder's contents to display on the desktop.
I am considering doing the Documents protection, but there are a lot of configuration files in there, and my question is if it will also move all those files and break existing references to them. For example, my SlickEdit config is in there, some Autohotkey config is in there, Lotus Notes config, etc. Will doing this Documents protection break all those file references? Or will Windows work some magic to make the old paths still usable?
