Windows 10: Folders Reappearing on Desktop - Favorites, Contacts, Downloads, 3D Objects

Hello all,


Every time I start my computer, the following folders appear again, after previous deletion, on my desktop:


Documents

Music

Videos

Pictures

These 4 folders, I am fine with


Downloads

3D Objects

Contacts

Favorites

These 4 folders, I do not want


How do I get these to be permanently deleted from my desktop? I always delete them but they just keep showing up again upon starting my laptop. It is very annoying.


Thanks!

Hiding "3D Objects" Folder in This PC

I would like to hide the "3D Objects" folder in This PC. I was able to hide the other folders (Desktop, Pictures, etc.) by editing the registry, but I could not find the corresponding entry for the "3D Objects" folder.

Does anyone know how to hide this folder in This PC? Thanks.

 

3D Objects folder

Hee, hee...

So your main User folder has become the 3D Objects folder (meaning anything that needs to access your User folder would get

lost and not be able to save, or may crash, etc. due to the new Folder name ) ?

When you open the 3D Objects/User folder you see the normal User stuff such as Photos, Music, Documents, etc. and a
3D Objects folder ?

If there is a 3D Objects folder within the renamed User folder, are you able to rename your User folder back ?

- Not clear on what method you used when tried to relocate the folder and "accidentally set it to my user folder"
though.

Was this in the 3D Objects Folders > Properties > Location tab ?

If so, try going back to Location and clicking on Restore, or try the Move option again.

- Failing that go the distance and try full a System Restore to a time before the bungle.

- Or you may have to repair/create a new User Account.

Likhitha describes the method in the thread below.

windows/forum/windows_10-performance-winpc/how-do-i-fix-a-corrupt-user-profile-in-win10

Basically - "Enable built-in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile, transfer all the data from the corrupted user


to the newly created user profile and check if the issue is resolved."...
Then delete your original now empty folder.

 

Tried moving User objects, now 3D Objects shows as a folder

Want to move my User settings to another partition but non-tenforums steps are wrong. Now my 3D Objects appears as a folder 'Dave', in my User folder alongside Pictures, etc. (I moved it back there.)

I've read the tutorials on this site and will follow. But how do I make my 3D Objects have it's true name again?
I'm not sure it is not in fact a folder. On the other partition it would sometimes appear as 3D Objects yet other times appear as folder Dave.

Thank you very much,
