# Convertir carpetas virtuales en Remote Desktop Manager

### Método manual

Es posible eliminar las carpetas virtuales editando manualmente cada carpeta virtual, guardando los cambios y convirtiéndolas en carpetas reales. Sin embargo, este proceso resulta laborioso cuando se trata de un número considerable de carpetas virtuales, ya que requiere convertir cada una de ellas manualmente.

### Método con PowerShell

{% hint style="danger" %}
Antes de proceder con el método con PowerShell, tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:

* Este método elimina todas las carpetas virtuales de las bóvedas del espacio de trabajo.
* Elimine las carpetas duplicadas antes de ejecutar el script de PowerShell desde la nueva entrada.
  {% endhint %}

1. Inicie Remote Desktop Manager como administrador haciendo clic con el botón derecho en la aplicación y eligiendo ***Ejecutar como administrador***.
2. Seleccione las bóvedas del espacio de trabajo desde las que desea convertir todas las carpetas virtuales en el ***panel de navegación***.
3. Añada una nueva entrada.
4. Vaya a ***Sesión – PowerShell*** para crear una entrada de sesión de PowerShell.

5. Asigne un nombre a la entrada y elija la carpeta en la que desea crearla.
6. Configure la entrada como ***Script incorporado***.

8. Añada el siguiente script:

   ```powershell
   # Check if Remote Desktop Manager PS module is installed

   if (-not (Get-Module Devolutions.PowerShell -ListAvailable)) {

      Install-Module Devolutions.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser

   }

   $beforeAllGroups = Get-Date

   $vaults = Get-RDMVault

   foreach ($vault in $vaults) {

      Set-RDMCurrentRepository -Repository $vault

      $vaultname = $vault.Name

      Write-Host "Current Vault is $vaultname"

      # Get all entries' folder path

      $sessions = Get-RDMSession

      $allGroups = @()

      foreach ($session in $sessions) {

          # Split the group folder location for each shortcut

          $tempFolder = $session.Group

          $shortcuts = $tempFolder.split(';')

          foreach ($shortcut in $shortcuts) {

              $folder = $shortcut

              if ($folder) {

                  $levels = $folder.split('\')

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/es/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/convert-virtual-folders-in-remote-desktop-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
