    Stipulate that I have a users directory on the D drive. How can I fix this?


    I have a machine that at one time was setup with a D:\users folder as the location for all user folders. Is there a way I can put this back on the C: drive so that I can update Windows 10 to the latest update. I am up to date with the penultimate update.

    :)

  2. D drive

    Hi,

    Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

    For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    • Type-in the following command:

      attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
    • Press Enter to execute the command.

    If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

    You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

    • Click on the File Explorer.
    • Select This PC.
    • Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
    • Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

    Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.

    D:\ The directory name is invalid

    No yellow exclamation mark. There is a Red X that appears in a separate tile titled D:\ with the above mentioned problem. I followed your suggestions but continue to receive the same message. Also, I don't know if this helps, but I open the file This PC,
    there is a D drive listed, when I double click on it I receive the message to insert a disc into D. Does my computer think the kobo is a DVD drive?

    Optical Drive Issue

    Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

    Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:

    Stipulate that I have a users directory on the D drive. How can I fix this? [​IMG]


    I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

    I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.
