Downloads Folder has merged with The Desktop folder

I accidentaly moved the folder location of the Downloads folder to the location of the Desktop folder, now they are both have the same files, name, icon, and folder location.

If i try to move anything from the Downloads folder, it gets moved from the Desktop folder too and vice versa.

I have tried to Change the folder location of the Downloads folder back, but it changes the folder location of the Desktop too

 

Downloads Folder has merged with The Desktop folder

As the two folders are now merged, you need to set the shell folder paths in the registry. Ref: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/shell-folders-merged-music-videos-same-folder/
