Windows 10: I accidentally move my "pictures" folder to C:/user/owner my user folder how to restore it?

I accidentally move my "pictures" folder to C:/user/owner my user folder now my user folder named pictures, and my pictures folder files merged with my users files data, how to restore it? I can"t restore the default location or rename it.

I've accidentally replaced my User folder with my Pictures folder

Suggest: Restore default junctions.Make a backup first:






Then restore defaults using Win10DefaultJunctions.ntj file.

I've accidentally replaced my User folder with my Pictures folder

Yes I do remember that warning message, I don't know why I chose to ignore that. Bree described the course of events correctly, I believe I selected inside the c:\users\reece folder expecting it to put my Pictures folder there, not realising that it infact required me to create a folder inside c:\users\reece called Pictures and then select that folder first.

C:\Users\reece\Pictures and C:\Users\Pictures\Pictures are both identical with the same contents, and after just doing my first WinKey+PrntScrn the Screenshots folder appears in both of those locations.

C:\users\reece looks like this




while C:\users\pictures looks like this




The only difference I can tell is that C:\users\reece contains the Videos folder that is correctly linked from my D: drive and is a vertical list, whereas C:\users\pictures doesn't and is a horizontal list.

EDIT: Fixed attachments, they broke because i changed pages while typing the quick reply which must have broken the attachments

 

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
