Windows 11 and folder redirection

In addition to the migration from Windows 10 to Windows 11 there is also a change in folder redirection happening. What does that mean?

Until now following folders have been 'redirected' into your D-ITET home account:

- Desktop -> in home folder MSDesctop
- Documents -> in home folder MSDocuments
