    how to get a folder location after search?


    1. I search for my gif folder in my second drive D:2. I get the search results and there it is! So I double click on the folder.3. In the top entry field, it shows "Search Results in Mydrive D: > gif". I think that is okay ?.4. When I move the cursor to the top entry field, it changes to:search-ms:displayname=Search%20Results%20in%20Mydrive%20D%3A&crumb=locationhow to get a folder location after search? :D%3A%5C\gifwhereas in Win10, I think it used to show the entire folder path. 5. I would like to get the folder path so that later, when I download, I can specify that folder.If I right click and 'open in new window',

    :)

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
