    • Open File Explorer.
    • Tap on View tab.

    Changing listing order of files and folders in File Explorer

    When you log into an account for the first time there is a chance to decline OneDrive "protection" for your user folders, but it's easy to miss (this is by design, no doubt). It's this automatic "backup" that hijacks folder locations. Sothe first thing to do is check OneDrive settings & make sure backup is disabled for your user folders. This is done via Manage Backup on the Backup tab of the OneDrive settings dialog (right-click the SysTray icon):

    When you do this, the folders under This PC will once again point to the folders in your UserProfile folder and not OneDrive. Files must be moved manually.

    Once you do this, your user folders are local and only files you explicitly place in the OneDrive folders will be synced to OneDrive.

    To move OneDrive to a lower position in the Navigation Pane, set the value of the DWORD value SortOrderIndex under the registry key:

    Code:
    to a value like 88. (create the value if it doesn't exist)
