    Change path in "This PC"


    Hi all,


    How can I change the path "Documents" under "This PC" without moving the files?


    actual state: C:\Users\Username\OneDrive\Dokumente

    desired target: C:\Users\Username\Dokumente


    To change the target and move the files to the new target is not a good idea. Under C:\Users\Username\Dokumente there are already files in it. When I move the target and the files, then I get a mix from OneDrive and local files. Don't want that. Actual state looks like this:


    values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\:

    Personal C:\Users\Username\Dokumente

    {F42EE2D3-909F-4907-8871-4C22FC0BF756} C:\Users\Username\OneDrive\Dokumente
    {24D89E24-2F19-4534-9DDE-6A6671FBB8FE} C:\Users\Username\OneDrive\Dokumente



    values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\:

    Personal C:\Users\Username\Dokumente



    %USERPROFILE%: C:\Users\Username


    Thanks you.

  2. Add a path to $PATH?

    what exactly do you need to decipher about that path line? also, what are you installing? perhaps i can help.

  3. Add a path to $PATH?

    Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

    Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
