    Downloads & Documents folders sharing same properties? + bugging out

    Im getting multiple "Downloads" folders appearing, all pointing to the same directory (E:/Downloads)

    When I change one of them, they all change. Also no Documents folder.

    Cant delete the extra folders.In the Properties > Location -- When I click "Restore Default" the folder url changes to "C:/Users/username/Documents/"

    Where did my Original downloads folder go, and why are they all linked together anyway?this is blowing my mind.

    :)

    Sharing Granting Access to another person's data where it should not

    Issue:

    • I share out nested folder in my 1drv via the Web interface to have view rights to family members to view some photos
    • Sent those a link & they of course they were able to view
    • But I go into this folder now in which I shared & I can see
      their       directory of pictures in addition to my own!
    • Verified on their end that they have NO data shared out on their side.
    Very odd & scary would you not say? Bug or?

    Thanks!

    Thank you that helped a lot! I went in to the appropriate Registry folders and noticed 3 "Downloads" entries pointing to E:/Documents. How that happened I have no idea. but using the information on that tutorial link, I was able to amend my issue in the Registry.
