Windows 10: Folder > Properties > Location

When I select the folder properties and go to the Location tab, I cannot change the location. Is that some type of Permissions issue or is there some other trick to change the Location path? ty

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions

 

Location-tab in Properties

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The information provided by you in the post, seems to be the Location tab is missing under
Properties.



Usually the Location tab will be present under
Properties for the folders listed under Quick Access (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures) and folders listed under
This PC (3d Objects, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos).



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please provide us the screenshot of the windows where you are not able to get the
Location tab under properties. (Please follow the steps mentioned in the

screenshot posted by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshots.) Do not share any personal information in the screenshots.



We await your response.
