  1. Desktop Directory/Location problem


    I changed the directory of my desktop to drive D thus merging my desktop with drive D and now all of the folders on Drive D appeared on my Desktop. I tried to change it back to the default location in C:\Users\Pc but now the Pc folder is also gone, and when I click the apply on restore default it say, that "Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under D:\Recovery. Access is Denied. Will Resetting my Pc help my problem or will it be the same?

    :)

    Correct Directory Location For Pictures Folder

    "Now Documents, Videos etc say file location is This PC. But Pictures file location is C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures."

    If we understand you correctly, the issue is that Pictures doesn't appear in the left panel under This PC. The correct location IS C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures. This is only an issue of using Step 8 in the tutorial to add it back to the list. See if this screenshot is what you want to achieve- put Pictures folder back in list on L.

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
