    Desktop loads wrong


    I attempted to change the location of my C:\users\mdper\desktop\ files and I didn't like the results so I tried to change it back. Now my desktop is screwed up. It only shows the folders listed on C: and a few app shortcuts. How do I get the desktop to load from C:\users\mdper\desktop?

    :)

    EDIT : I did what you said and tried without G (second time, didn't take screen shots), same error. I did notice that NTFS Primary 3 (NONE) doesn't have a drive letter associated with it?
