    Downloads Showing On My Homescreen


    I'll make this as comprehensible as possible because I am not quite sure what to look up. Any time I download something like an image, it saves on my home screen. I do not want this and am not sure how to change it.

    :)

    changing Homescreen options

    I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could change my homescreen to display a directory other than my desktop, for example my downloads, or pictures etc.

    The reason why I'm asking is because everything is being stored on the desktop under my OneDrive and I want to change it so that my homescreen displays my regular desktop, not the one under Onedrive.

    Thanks in advance!

    I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:

    Do the following to change it:

    Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:


    Downloads Showing On My Homescreen [​IMG]


    A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:


    Downloads Showing On My Homescreen [​IMG]


    Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:


    Downloads Showing On My Homescreen [​IMG]


    Click Stop protecting:


    Downloads Showing On My Homescreen [​IMG]


    Confirm:


    Downloads Showing On My Homescreen [​IMG]


    That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.
