    I accidentally merged my Documents and 3D Objects Library - sos?


    I should have known better from the warnings it was giving me. I had been attempting to put the 3d Objects folder withinthe documents folder because I thought "well why would I want those file types organized separately from my regular documents folder" but at this point I just want to undo my mistake because the two folders are just mirrors of each other now.


    I just got this new laptop HP Envy, a few weeks ago, upgraded from a literal decade old macbook that was still kicking around. I'm okay with computers - I know how to identify my problems by googling them, at least, so I know that I have to reset something to do with the User Shell Folders like RazvanT's comment explains thathere. But I get lost at step 3.1. I'm not 100 percent certain what the next move is, and I don't want to mess it up even further and iirc, I read somewhere else that I have to create a new folder titled 3D Objects, so that the registry editor knows where the actual location is supposed to be.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I ACCIDENTALLY MERGED MY 3D OBJECTS FOLDER TO H DRIVE

    I accidentally merged my 3D Objects folder to H Drive when I was transferring my 3d objects folder location in the properties and now the PC is recognizing the folder as only my H Drive. Whenever I click on the 3d objects folder its exactly the same as if
    i clicked on my H drive. The properties also show up the same as my hard drive and if i delete something from the 3d objects folder it deletes it from the hard drive (H): as well.

    I wanted the 3d objects folder to be in my H drive but under its own folder inside of the H Drive.

    Can anyone help me with this please?

    I dont need this folder and I dont mind deleting it BUT I just dont want to have it there if its mirroring my H drive.

    Accidentally merged '3D Objects' folder with my D: drive

    Hi, I recently got a new laptop that has a small SSD & a large HDD. To preserve space, I was transferring my default folders (Documents, Music, Video, Downloads, etc) from the C: (SSD) to D: (HDD). Most went fine, but on the last one I managed to tell Windows
    to merge my 3D Objects folder with D: drive. The icon under 'This PC' still shows the 3D objects folder, but it is labelled D:\ now. If I go into that folder, its definitely my D: drive, with everything the same whether I go in through that folder or the Drives
    & Devices. When I look at the properties of the folder, it shows drive properties (instead of folder properties).

    So ... how do I get my 3D objects folder back? I'm less worried about having that particular folder than I am about having something screwy going on in my directory.

    Thanks.

  4. I accidentally merged my Documents and 3D Objects Library - sos?

    Merging freezes sometimes when I try to merge objects together in 3D Builder.

    I use 3D Builder all the time to build 3D models. The problem is, sometimes when I try to merge objects together, the merging just freezes. It's not slow or anything. The merging just freezes and doesn't move at all no matter how long I wait. It makes
    it so I can't merge the objects together. Most of the time, i'm able to merge objects together, but sometimes, i'm not able to because of the merging freezing. Can someone please help me fix this problem? Thank you!
