Windows 10: Changing default folder locations for Public users

I've upgraded two machines going from a single 1T hard drive to a SSD and a 1T hard drive for data. I was able to change the default user file locations for docs, pics, music, video, and download. When I went to do the same for the public user, I was not allowed to change the locations. Must be missing something.

The reason for changing the path to the folders is to make the defaults save data to the large drive without difficulty

Anyone here able to tell me how to do this?

File Explorer Libraries resetting on Wondows 10

I have been testing some more and found a partial fix.

If I move the default documents folder from C:\users\myname\Documents to C:\users\myname\OneDrive\Documents and set it as the Default & Public Save location for the Library it remains so after a reboot and the C:\users\myname\Documents folder is no longer
added automatically.

This now corrects the save locations and the list of Folders included in the Documents Library.

However, after a reboot the order of Folders in the Library is still changed.

Library set as:

C:\users\myname\OneDrive\Documents --- Default and Public Save

\\Server\MyDocs

\\Server\SharedDocs

Becomes:

\\Server\MyDocs

\\Server\SharedDocs

C:\users\myname\OneDrive\Documents --- Default and Public Save

after reboot.

This is much better but the order should not change.

Any ideas would be greatfully received.

Destkop File Location

After a windows update my documents, pictures, music, video and desktop folders paths were all reset to there default locations. I have multiple drives in my pc so I changed the path of the pictures,music, documents and video folder to my D drive. But when
I changed the path of my Desktop folder I made a mistake. I changed it to C/users/public/public desktop. But now I am unable to revert the change. It denies me access and when you right click on the desktop icon and go to desktop and then the location tab,
it won't show the options to revert, change or target.

Hopefully you guys could help me.

 

You could relocate the complete Users folder to another drive: Users Folder - Move Location in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

That moves the complete Users folder, every user including Public.

 

Thanks--found a post in another place that gave me directions on how to do it. I'll try this and see how it works.
