Windows 10: Help clearing things up regarding redirecting user folders

Hi,

I am a bit confused about redirecting user folders in Windows 10, that is move the user folders like Documents, Pictures, Music, etc FROM my C-drive which is the default drive, TO a new drive, for example D-Drive where I have my Old Documents, Picture and Music folders.

So the situation is this.

I have made an upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 using the free offer from Microsoft.

I then realized that some old software do not seem to work, etc, which has made me want to make a new, clean install of Windows 10 on my C-drive (that is a new formated one), and then re-connect my "old" Documents, Pictures, Music, etc folders which I have on a separate D-Drive.

When I did this in Windows 7 (and I think with Windows 8.1 as well), I just went to the Documents folder on the C-drive, right clicked an choose properties and then moved the folder to the "old" folder also named "Documents" on the D-drive, by using the Move... button in the Location-tab in the Properties dialog of the Documents folder (for example).

Is this the way to do it in Windows 10 as well, or do I have to do it the rather "technical" way described by Kari in "Users Folder - Change Location in Windows 10"? The reason for asking this, is that I cannot find this "Location tab" in Windows 10, nor the "Move..."-button.

Would be grateful if someone could clarify this a bit!

New Windows 10 update replaced my user folders with OneDrive

There are a lot of a questions like these but none of them help.

Windows 10 automatically updated on my computer and everything was going okay. But when I try to go to my Documents and Pictures folders on This PC, they redirect to OneDrive. This PC used to redirect to the C:/Users/[name]/Pictures folder, but I can't get
it to redirect back there.

Please help me. I need them back and they are pinned to Quick Access right now. But that really isn't helping me at all.

And all I'd like is for This PC to redirect to my user folders. I've read many other things and NOTHING helps because This PC is taken over by One Drive.

 

Corrupted Recycle bin

Looking at our resources, there's a possibility that this concern has something to do with permission issues. Try to configure the folder redirection policy for documents.

Configured the Folder Redirection policy for Documents:

Target tab:

Setting: Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location

Target folder location - Redirect to the user's home directory

Settings tab:

Enabled - Move the contents of Documents to the new location.

Disabled - Grant the user exclusive rights to Documents.

Disabled - Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP and Windows 2003 operating systems

Regards.

 

Hi, it seems to be there still.. (10586.36)

 

Funny!? I must have right clicked on the wrong folder???

 

Make sure you click on C:\Users\youraccount\Document, not Documents under Libraries.
