You install Windows 10 on a computer named Computer1. Computer1 is a member of workgroup and will be used by multiple users to browse the Internet. You need to ensure that a file named policy1.docx…

C:\Users\Default\Desktop is the template profile used only when creating new user accounts - files placed there are copied to each new user's profile on first logon, creating multiple copies and not appearing for existing users.

C:\Users\Public\Desktop is a shared desktop folder that Windows merges with each individual user's desktop view at logon, so any file placed there appears on every user's desktop. Because only one physical copy of the file exists in the Public Desktop folder, this solution meets the requirement to minimize the number of copies.

Computer1 is a member of a workgroup, not a domain, so Group Policy objects (GPOs) targeting Desktop settings cannot be deployed centrally to it.

Folder Redirection via GPO requires a domain environment with a file server target, which is not available in a workgroup configuration.
