    File Explorer wacked out? Wuuuut?


    I was remapping the default folders under THIS PC. Somehow (and I have no idea how), two folders named DOCUMENTS appear with no DOWNLOADS folder. See pic:

    Interestingly enough, at random times, I may open file explorer and see two DOWNLOADS folders and no DOCUMENTS folder? If you'll notice, the icons for DOWNLOADS and DOCUMENTS have not changed.

    I thought it would be easy enough to rename, but it appears you are unable to rename those particular folders under THIS PC.

    Any ideas on a fix? This is driving me crazy!

    Thanks all!

    :)

  3. Explorer opens when ActiveSync 4.5 does

    So, it is the same thing as if you clicked on File Explorer? If so, a shortcut must have got "wacked". What devie do you have?
