    I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:


    Homescreen changed [​IMG]


    Do the following to change it:

    Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:


    Homescreen changed [​IMG]


    A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:


    Homescreen changed [​IMG]


    Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:


    Homescreen changed [​IMG]


    Click Stop protecting:


    Homescreen changed [​IMG]


    Confirm:


    Homescreen changed [​IMG]


    That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.

    I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could change my homescreen to display a directory other than my desktop, for example my downloads, or pictures etc.

    The reason why I'm asking is because everything is being stored on the desktop under my OneDrive and I want to change it so that my homescreen displays my regular desktop, not the one under Onedrive.

    Thanks in advance!
