Windows 10: Folder Document Tracking

Lets say I have a ton of tracking to do for a bunch of sites that I manage. I have a main folder called sites, and a folder called regions in sites, and a folder called site names inside regions. In each site name folder I have folders for specific items lets just call them billing, contracts etc...Is there a way when I have all the necessary files that I can mark or track the completeness of that folder? I have tons of spreadsheets I collect daily and some sites are huge and other sites are small. I was hoping there was a way to track a fully complete file in a folder. Example, Sites>Regions>Site A>Project A> would show 3 folders inside lets call them 1,2,3 for simplicity. Is there a way when I have all the necessary files for folder 2 to show folder 2 as complete? Like having the folder a different color or something? And then when I have all the data for a project that whole project folder would show complete. I tried adding tags to the files in the folder and then using display tags where it shows modified by and date etc... but when go up one folder the tags are only on the file and not showing for the folder they are in.

Multiple 'Documents' folders under 'This PC'

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

This may happen if one the “documents” folder has been stored on different target location.

Follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1

I suggest that you check both the folders location where they are saved using the below method:

• 
  Right-click on any one documents folder and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Click the Location tab, click Restore Default, and then click Apply and OK.
  
• 
  Check what happens, try these step on all the documents folder.
  

Method 2

If the above step fails then try checking the target location of both the folders by using the find target option:

• 
  Right-click on any one documents folder and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Click the Location tab, click Find target.
  
• 
  Check where the target location of both the folders is and check if any one goes to the user name location and later delete the one which goes to wrong location.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Documents/Pictures folders under 'This PC' refer to onedrive - not the local folders

Since the only folder that has incorrect file path is the Documents folder under This PC, we would suggest you do the same steps provided above. However, do it in your Documents folder under This PC. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer
• Click This PC
• Right-click on Documents
• Click Properties
• Click Location
• Click Restore Default
• Click Apply
• Click OK
