Hi,

I was trying to remap both My Documents on my PC(Win XP) and laptop(Win 7) to point to a common Documents folder in the NAS. I was successful on the PC but not on the laptop. For some reason, even if the drive was mapped(Z:), I cannot access it when I try to add the path to make it the default storage of Documents. I'm getting a "network resource available" error but if I use another window to browse files I can access the NAS drive and its contents. The only thing I did was to create a password-protected user acccount that has access to the whole NAS drive.

I think it's because Windows7 doesn't like to map those locations to network locations.  The implementation for it is to create offline folders of the network location and then you are able to add that as your Documents folder.  However, the offline folders feature doesn't appear to work on the NAS!?
