    I messed up my Desktop file index entry


    Somehow in my desire to change what is backup in OneDrive, I messed up the file index entry for my Desktop. There are folders and files on my Desktop, BUT when I go to the File Explorer, Desktop, it is empty...ouch. Not sure what I did, but can I restore Desktop? Get it to show what is actually showing on my deskto Many thanks for helping an idiot. \rtc Windows Pro 20H2
