Windows 10: Changed directories of user shell folders in regedit, I messed up.

Error Dialogue Box

Uninstalled OneDrive from my computer, was trying to change directories of those user folders using regedit. I messed up.

Computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

The dialogue box (attached above) comes up and my desktop icons vanishes.

If anyone could provide me default data values for all of them so I can restore them back to default or any other fix that can help?

OneDrive is a pain in ass. Any help is appreciated.

Can't get regedit to save changes [ User Shell folders ]

Looks like a startup task undoes what you did. I can think of two ways to fix the problem:

• Change the permissions for the User Shell Folders key so that your account has only read-access.
• Leave the type at Reg_Sz but replace %UserProfile% with the actual value, e.g.
  
  C:\Users\Xioh

 

Directory Size Utility

Thanks buddy! Yea, this section's not dead. Kreij and I have big plans for this section. I don't want to give nothing away, but we have some bigger projects down the road. *Toast :toast: I feel I'm pretty good at coding with different languages, but I'm well behind Kreij's level of experience with those other Languages. I've been working on those other languages, and soon I'll feel comfortable enough to start, and not feel like I'm holding the project back. *Toast :toast:

Now on to your suggestions.

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that? Yea, that's been bothering me and I like your suggestion "Add Folder". I'll change it on the next release.
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs) I could add this, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. By subfolders you mean add all the folders in the left panel to the right panel? Those folders are all the subfolders in the "Get folder".
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories? I'll add this on the next release.

These are all great suggestions! Thanks Drone! *Toast :toast:
