    Windows 10 - File ManagerSome year ago I unthinkingly created a sub-directory under Pictures called Videos. This was to distinguish videos I took on my camera from photos I created with it.The inevitable has finally happened and the sub-directory Pictures/Videos has been taken by FM to be the system folder Videos and given the attribute System Folder. On my D; drive, where I keep all my data, the folder Videos is in the path - ie D:\username\Videos, similar to D:\username\Documents etc, but has the attribute 'folder' and not 'system folder'.There is a lot of data in D:\username\Videos which I

    There are no more files and ASUS Data Security Manager

    I've been having the same issues trying to save files.

    I followed all of the steps but ASUS Data Security Manager keeps reappearing. How do I really get it to delete? I've done the uninstall four times and it just pops back in the list.

    Confused File Manager

    File Explorer is confusing

    Somewhat new to Windows, after having used a Mac for several years.

    I find the layout in the File Explorer very confusing.

    It shows Quick Access, I see two separate Desktop listings (contents not the same), OneDrive, This PC, Libraries, My User Name.

    Why are there two Desktops? Is there a way to change the layout so it's not so confusing?

    Thanks for any help!
