Windows 10: How to get my desktop dir path programmatically after I moved it

I've redirected the "Desktop" folder to another disk so that I will not lose anything on the desktop after I reset/re-install the OS.And here comes the problem, a program is trying to export files to the Desktop, and it found the original %USERPROFILE%/Desktop which is C://Users/Admin/Desktop instead of the desired D://Users/Admin/Desktop .Related issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/238222674

Add a path to $PATH?

Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

Thanks for the reply.

 

dir Difficulties

I am getting the hang of this command set.

Maybe somebody know a work around that will list the three time stamps at one time.
Theoretically dir /TC /TA /TW.
dir will only show one of the three at one time.

To me it seems that the only way to get all three on a line is to run loop with output to file, then boiling down the three outputs to one line. Clumsy but maybe the only way to get the job done?

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Help renaming or moving files with a unacceptable filename (...) at end of path

OK.

I seem to have screwed up a directory.

the directory has 3 dots (periods) at the end of the file name

I've tried (in cmd prompt and powershell)

{path = M:\good-path\badpath...}

move explicit-pathname... to New (existing) directory

as well as

move M:\explicit-pathname...\filename.txt to (new directory)

as well as

move "M:\explicit-pathname...\filename.txt" to (new directory)

hint:

from the root directory (m:\good-path\)

I CAN do the following : dir /s /b M:\good-path\ > filename.txt

and the files in badpath... are shown there.

I cannot cd , or do attribs, etc on badpath...

ideas? suggestions? very grateful for the help in advance!!
