Windows 10: Documents folder in quick access pointing to wrong place.

Hi,

In the quick access area of the file browser the documents folder is pointing to a drive that no longer exists.

The folder is pinned to the top of the file list and it wont unpin. How do I either unpin it or make it point to the correct location.

Many Thanks

:)

 

resetting documents folder reference in ThisPC

I've had to mess around with my Documents folder in my users folder. There are two references to that folder, one in Quick Access and the other is in ThisPC. I've found a way to reset the one in quick access but cannot get the one in ThisPC to point
to my current Documents folder. How may I reset the pointer?

 

Quick Access Folders Point to the Same Folder

In the process of trying to have Quick Access folders (easily confusable with Libraries) point to different locations, I somehow ended up with them pointing to the same folder (e.g. 'Pictures' points to 'Documents', 'Music' points to 'Documents', etc.).
I tried the 'Restore Default' on the 'Locations' tab of the 'Properties' dialog, but they all change to the same default, not different ones for each (Pictures, Music, etc.).

Is there a simple way to correct this -- so they point to their respective folders?

Thanks.
