Windows 10: I have my downloads folder directed towards my c:\users\(my name)\downloads, yet it treats...

I don't know why, because even when I direct it to the downloads shortcut, it goes to c:\users(my name)\downloads, and I can't see it till I go there.

Lost my "Downloads" FOLDER and somehow re-named my User Profile with this same "Downloads" Folder - Help!

Hi,

If the Downloads folder is deleted, disappeared or missing in Windows PC, then you'll not be able to find any downloaded files or data anymore. However, you can restore it back by following these steps:

• Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\Default folder.
• Right-click on Downloads in the right side pane and select
  Copy.
• Navigate to C:\Users\your name folder and right-click the folder.
• Select Paste.

Then the missing Downloads folder shall be replaced and you’ll be able to use it properly again.

Get back to us with the outcome.

 

User/profile is downloads folder

The "C:\Users\User\Downloads" is normal, Users is default with Windows install and User is the log-in name created when Windows is first set up. The default Folders list such as Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, etc., is normal under C:\Users\User\.

 

Windows' Profile folder named Downloads

1. Windows will not let me change the folder name.

2. The ProfileImagePath value of my SID key is indeed C:\Users\Budd.

3. I don't mind it staying D:\Downloads, I just want to fix the User is Downloads issue.
