    my d drive and downloads folder is the same folder???

    my d drive is the same folder as my downloads folder and the important things I have in my d drive are now in the same place as my downloads and it's bad because sometimes I almost remove things that are important because I forget that my d drive and downloads
    folder are the same. Like I have a bunch of folders there that I've almost deleted numerous of times because I think im in the downloads folder and that it's just a copy of the original folder and then I remember that I'm on the actual drive. And it's really
    hard to clean out my stuff because I don't know what is what. Like sometimes I don't know if the file or folder in there is something that is downloaded and that I don't need or something important. I don't remember how this happened but I think that I was
    trying to make my d drive my main drive and one some way I changed the location of the drive to my downloads folder. Because I wanted the things I download to go into the d drive folder and not the c drive because I use that one for programs but I didn't want
    my downloads folder to be my d drive!

    Is there any way to change it so my downloads folder is my downloads folder and that my d drive is somewhere else again?

    How can I set EDGE to by default download to D:\Downloads


    Hi:

    I do not use Edge, but here is one suggested method (it dates from Aug 2015, but I presume the steps are still valid):

    Thank you for the information you've provided.

    The only way to restore your computer settings is to perform the "Reset this PC" option, then select the "Keep my files"
    option. This option will reinstall your Windows 10 without affecting your files.

    Note: Don't forget to back up your files before performing a System Reset.

    Please post back with the result for further assistance.
