  1. File explorer username


    When i made my first microsoft account it took the 5 letters from my (which were zoori) and set it as my file explorer username

    Since then i have changed the email for the Microsoft account and the first 5 letters of the email is luthe

    I was wondering if i were to sign in to a brand new computer with a fresh install of windows 10 with my account would my file explorer username be zoori or luthe?

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?
