    how do i change the location of 'documents'?


    Recently I've reset my laptop so i could use it for my education. However, since the reset
    the 'my documents' (and Pictures) user-folder at 'my PC' has been changed to the onedrive equivalent. I've tried turning off onedrive by changing my group policy, but it turned out that just removed the folders, but kept the link, resulting in a missing folder error. So i was forced to turn it back on. Is there any way for me to get the folders at 'my pc' to direct at my personal user folders?

  2. How can I change the location of the recorded files in Voice recorder windows 10

    Hi Boris,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    Sorry to inform you that there is no such option available in Windows 10.

    The default location will be Documents > Sound Recordings.

    For more information I suggest you to refer this article:

    ok, so i managed to do it. I unlinked my PC via onedrive settings and relinked it, choosing a new location for the onedrive folder (inside the documents folder) this caused the links at 'my PC' to refresh and obtain the tab 'location'. After that it was just a reset to default and it now refers to the right folders! thanks!
