Windows 10: Changed the Video Folder Location to My User Folder

Hi, I made a stupid mistake and changed the location of my Videos folder and mapped it to C:\Users\MyUserName. This changed the content of the C:\Users folder instead of my username to "Videos". Inside the folder "Videos" that was an empty folder i see my Desktop, Favorites, Search, my Contacts and everything that supposed to be included in my user's file.I think that functionally this still works and the video folder functions as my username folder and my video folder now but I find it incredibly annoying and really want to restore this to default. I am unable to though. The solution posted

:)

 

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

 

Changed Video Personal Folder to User Folder Location cannot move back

Sorry I am not sure how this helps?

The problem I have is outlined in the article above: Assume that you changed the location of a personal folder in Windows, such as Documents or Downloads, and mapped the folder to another personal folder. When you try
to change the location of the folder again, the operation fails.

Only with the difference that I did not use a personal folder but the parent folder (the user profile folder). Updating the registry like suggested in the article did not fix the issue the Video personal folder is still
mapped with the user profile folder.

 

Changed Video Personal Folder to User Folder Location cannot move back

Hi,

I changed the location of my Video folder to a different folder but then decided to move it back. Instead of using the restore default option I navigated to the user folder but by accident (I though it creates a Video folder) I merged it into the parent
folder which is the user folder itself.

So now instead of my user name the user folder is shown as "Video" and it does not allow me to change the location again as I get the following error: Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location
that can't be redirected. Access is denied.

This issue is covered in this Article: Operation to change a personal folder location fails in Windows

Unfortunately the solution outlined (edited the registry) did not work for me. My registry is edited and I restarted a couple of times. The registry entry for video now shows the
correct path but my user folder is still named Video and acts as the Video personal folder.
