Reroute Files and Settings
To reroute files and settings, create a custom .xml file and specify the .xml file name on both the ScanState.exe and LoadState.exe command-lines. The custom .xml file enables keeping changes separate from the default .xml files, so that it's easier to track modifications.
Reroute a folder
The following custom .xml file migrates the directories and files from C:\EngineeringDrafts into the Documents folder of every user. %CSIDL_PERSONAL% is the virtual folder representing the <User> desktop item, which is equivalent to CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS.
<migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/test">
<component type="Documents" context="User">
<displayName>Engineering Drafts Documents to Personal Folder</displayName>
<role role="Data">
<rules>
<!-- Migrate all directories and files present in c:\EngineeringDrafts folder -->
<include>
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File">C:\EngineeringDrafts\* [*]</pattern>
</objectSet>
</include>
<!-- This migrates all files and directories from C:\EngineeringDrafts to every user's personal folder.-->
<locationModify script="MigXmlHelper.RelativeMove('C:\EngineeringDrafts','%CSIDL_PERSONAL%')">
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File">C:\EngineeringDrafts\* [*]</pattern>
</objectSet>
</locationModify>
</rules>
</role>
</component>
</migration>
Reroute a specific file type
The following custom .xml file reroutes .mp3 files located in the fixed drives on the source computer into the C:\Music folder on the destination computer.
<migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/test">
<component type="Documents" context="System">
<displayName>All .mp3 files to the Documents folder</displayName>
<role role="Data">
<rules>
<include>
<objectSet>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.mp3]", "Fixed")</script>
</objectSet>
</include>
<!-- Migrates all the .mp3 files in the store to the C:\Music folder during LoadState -->
<locationModify script="MigXmlHelper.Move('C:\Music')">
<objectSet>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.mp3]", "Fixed")</script>
</objectSet>
</locationModify>
</rules>
</role>
</component>
</migration>
Reroute a specific file
The following custom .xml file migrates the Sample.doc file from C:\EngineeringDrafts into the Documents folder of every user. %CSIDL_PERSONAL% is the virtual folder representing the <User> desktop item, which is equivalent to CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS.
<migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/test">
<component type="Documents" context="User">
<displayName>Sample.doc into the Documents folder</displayName>
<role role="Data">
<rules>
<include>
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File"> C:\EngineeringDrafts\ [Sample.doc]</pattern>
</objectSet>
</include>
<locationModify script="MigXmlHelper.RelativeMove('C:\EngineeringDrafts','%CSIDL_PERSONAL%')">
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File"> C:\EngineeringDrafts\ [Sample.doc]</pattern>
</objectSet>
