When I open the Windows File manager and unpin the OneDrive Downloads and OneDrive Documents folders, then pin the local folders of the same name to Quick Access, within a day or&

Change Default Document Folder Location to local Drive from OneDrive Windows 11

Hi, I wish to change document folder's default location from OneDrive to local drive. It is currently configured as follows:





I have unlinked OneDrive from everywhere else on my laptop. However, all my other attempts to change the default path for the Document folder to my local drive have come unstuck. Now the only option left for me is to modify the document path in the registry as I do not have access to access to gpedit.msc due to my Windows 11 version being a home edition.

Please suggest if this step would solve my issue.

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive

Hello -
Thanks for the return. Before I undertake changing the Registry, I have a question.
The steps in my Registry, for my version of Windows 10, were a bit different, but I think I eventually got to the right spot.
The last step is to change the number of places you want to list in Recent Places. In my case, the default Max Display listed 50 as the number. So, if I were to change that number, how do I know the Save As page will be one of those places? Or, a similar question, will this registry change delete the tab Recent from my Save As page? This is what I would like to happen.
When I received my computer in Nov. 2016, the Recent tab was not listed in the Save As page. Something caused it to be added over time. Which brings me to this second question. Would there be any benefit in deleting the changed registry listing and reverting back to the default listing? See attachment.
