I found the article very informative and answered a question I have had for a long time, ‘Why does this folder act different than other folders.’ I recognized that some folders appear at other places on the directory tree. Thank you for the great lesson.
Whereas you present a nice solution in this article, it seems much easier just to drag the path from an explorer address bar down to the explorer icon in the task bar and set up the folder as a pinned link. I have about a dozen or so pinned links and a simple right click opens the list. A dozen or so explorer shortcut icons on my desktop is not something I want to see. But thanks very much for the article – it is nice all the same and will work well for those who don’t have the mess of folders needed to get their work done as I do.
I’m a Windows 7 user, who needs to start using OneDrive. After entering the correct text with my user name in the “Target” field, I get the following message:
The name .c:Usersdekkers42OneDrive’ specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

Some people do not want a pinned link. This article is for them.
