Accidentally merged User and Documents folders

Hello,

I was moving some files around on my hard drive and I accidentally merged my User folder with my Documents folder. So in my C:\User directory instead of seeing C:\Users\MyName I see C:\Users\Documents. Seen below:





I have looked through a few different forums on how to fix my mistake, but I am not 100% sure on how to fix it. I believe that I need to make a change in the registry because the data field for "Personal" is %USERPROFILE% and not %USERPROFILE%\Documents.

Can anyone help me with some steps that I can follow so I can resolve my mistake? I don't want to mess up the registry and hurt my machine. Thanks in advance!

 

HELP! Was moving around and accidentally merged user folder and documents folder

See the thing is that my documents folder IS where I want it to be. Just that my user folder is currently mimicing a Documents folder due to the accidental merge. (as shown in the photo attached)

As I mentioned originally, I had already restored my documents folder. My music, video and downloads folder are stored on a different disk altogether so those folders are fine.

At this point all i'm trying to figure out is how I restore my user folder back from registering as a documents folder

for clarification of the image, the properties window is coresponding to the user folder open in the background which as can be seen in the address bar is showing 'documents' however if I were to click on the addresss bar it would show the same directory at C:\Users\Adonis. The Documents folder highlighted is the correct document folder which is perfectly fine
