    HELP! Can’t find documents folder and seems to be linked to Local Disk D:


    I was trying to fix a game issue on my pc when I realised I couldn’t find my documents folder anywhere. I followed advice from someone else similar question on community and ended up going to Registry Editor HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell FoldersAnd under Personal and {F42EE2D3-909F-4907-8871-4C22FC0BF756} I saw that my Value Data was D:So after creating a new folder called “Documents” in Local Disk D: I changed both of the Value Data to%USERPROFILE%\DocumentsAnd restarted my pc.Now I can see a documents folder in Quick start but if I click it

    :)

    Incorrectly move my Documents folder to the local disk D:

    Incorrectly move my Documents folder to the local disk D:. I tried to fix my mistake and change the "Personal" parameter in the registry to the correct location in D:\Documents. But even after restart "This computer" displays folder for "Documents" that's
    linked to the D:\. How I can fix it to point to the correct location?

    HELP! Can’t find documents folder and seems to be linked to Local Disk D:

    Unable to open local disk D

    Hello! My name is Mostafa, and I will try my best to assist you with this so that you find a satisfactory solution.

    I’m sorry that you are experiencing this issue.

    Please follow the steps below:

    Right-click on the Start button, select "Disk Management" from the menu, and see if your Local Disk D is listed there. If it is, make sure it has a drive letter assigned to it. If it doesn't, you can assign a drive letter by right-clicking on the drive and selecting "Change Drive Letter and Paths."

    Open a Command Prompt as an administrator by right-clicking the Start button, selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)," and then typing the command chkdsk D: /f and pressing Enter. This will initiate a disk check on Local Disk D.

    If you still have issues, please use 3rd party app to check your Drive health.

    If the above steps do not help, reach out to me, and I will be happy to help and try my best to resolve your issue. Thank you.

    Best,

    Mostafa
