Windows 10: Desktop is my D: Drive - no desktop folder

hello.


My computer is new and I have a solid state drive for my main C and a regular hard drive for the D:. My D: acts as my desktop folder so when I move any files into it they are placed onto my desktop.


I'm wondering how I create a desktop folder in my d: drive so that this doesn't happen. I don't need tons of files on my desktop.


Help is greatly appreciated!

My Desktop is a D Drive

Hi Alina

1

Open File Explorer, then create a new Folder on that D drive and name it Desktop

Close File Explorer

Open the Registry Editor again, it will still be on the same page . . .

2

Double click Desktop, then set its value data to this and click OK

D:\Desktop

3

Double click 54ac886-df64-4cba-86b5-f7fbf4fbcef5, then set its value data to this and click OK

D:\Desktop

Close the Registry Editor and restart (not shut down) your PC

That will have split your Desktop and the D Drive, your Desktop will now be located in that Desktop folder, you may need to manually move files into that folder form your D drive . ..

 

My Desktop is a D Drive

I moved my Desktop Location to my Hard Drive. I accidentally forgot to add the Desktop subfolder in the location.

Now everything I save in my D drive also goes to the desktop and everything I save in the Desktop directly goes to the D drive without any subfolders.

Tried creating on my D Drive a Desktop folder and copying everything to it but still can't do it (when I searched to thumbs.db file wasn't there and desktop.ini were only files on my C drive)

Tried this solution: My Desktop is a D Drive so
for me it doesn't work.

Is there a way to change desktop's localization to C Drive?

Hi Alina

Open File Explorer

On your D Drive should be that Desktop folder you created

Anything you want on your Desktop, drag and drop into that new Desktop folder and those should then appear on your Desktop . . .
