    Can't move default photo folder location because of invisible "Screenshots" folder.


    I am trying to move all of my default file locations away from OneDrive, but when I try to do so I get an error.Clicking "No" on the redirect prompt doesn't let you proceed. Clicking "Yes" gives that error.I have the file explorer set to show hidden files.Earlier I was trying to do this same thing of setting a new default folder for my screenshots, but that had failed somehow and so I deleted the new screenshots folder I had made in /Users/jvale/. It seems to somehow think this folder still exists and tries to merge any other attempts at moving the default photo folder into it. How do I get it

    :)

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions
