    Files name wrong after changing location


    Hello I need help on my problem.


    Recently I change all my file location in my PC Such as Documents, Desktop, Downloads,.. etc from C: storage to D: storage. I find it strange because all the files are namely wrong and had the same name.


    Like, the Desktop and the Download and other file are name as Documents. So, I change the location again to C: storage. When I try to place the Desktop to the default place, all other files such as Download, Documents and other change to Desktop to and there's no way to change it.


    It happen exactly the same to all file. I done reset the folders, restore default and do registry editor but none of these help.


    Please help me so that I can use it as before. I am super frustrated.
