i have a testing server in which i have only one drive C and its not share but its default sharing is ON like i can acess it with C$ and now i make a folder in c drive with the name of Data and share it and give its full access to everyone but now the problem is if i browse this folder from browse button and press apply then it will give me a error msg that is given below

The Target Path is not a UNC Path
if this is not a valid local path at the client, folder redirection will fail
Are you sure you want to use this path as a target folder ?

and if i write \\servername\Data\%username% the it will give me a error given below

The Specified target location is not valid

but if i give path \\servername\Data\ i can apply this setting without any error is it a right way to define the path ? and like that every users dekstop and document folder is saving on the required folder but when i open it from administrator account then it will give me a error

C:\redirection\dekstop\username\My Documents is not accesible

access is denied

can someone please explain me about its permissions policies ? :( please tell me about permissions soon otherwise it will really bad for me may b i will kick out from here :( do something

please do me favour and tell me what should i do now ? or explain mein about the path
