Not clear what you're asking.
If you've got a share name "foo" on a server, and you want to change
the local filesystem folder that share is actually referenced to,
without changing the contents of the folders, then these two commands
will do:
NET SHARE foo /DELETE
NET SHARE foo = d:\new\path
(Or use the GUI.)
If you're keeping the share name and folder, but just want to move
the user's files (contents of folder) to another local folder, then
move them in Explorer. That's a simple change to a directory entry;
ROBOCOPY (as the name implies) does a full copy, which is a waste in
this case. Possibly a big one, if there are a lot of files or bytes.
If you're doing both (moving user's files *and* changing local
folder location), do both of the above.
If something else, elucidate.
Hope this helps,
