    Both my pictures and desktop are linked into one folder


    Due to some meddling with onedrive and default folders I happen to have the default Desktop folder named after pictures and pointing to the same location. When I try to move any of them, the other folder will move too. Is there some registry fix?Picture:https://ibb.co/mC8ZRLH
