    Accidental merge of desktop folder with User folder

    hello, I was moving my user folder from my SSD to my HDD, I first started with the desktop folder but decided to move it back, I ended up merging my user and desktop file.

    I also restarted the computer after the error and all of the shortcuts on the desktop don't work anymore as well and show a planet icon

    I Have tried to follow the answer to this question, but it didn't work:

    I accidentally merged my downloads folder and Onedrive folder

    Hi,

    Download and run "fix_downloads_path.reg" registry file from here:

    OneDrive

    Once done, log off and log back in for the changes to apply.

    The registry file fixes the User Shell Folders path for "Downloads" folder.

    To fix it manually, see Method 2 in the link Accidentally Merged Shell Folders
