  4. I moved the Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders to the D:\ drive, but Documents is...

    Downloads and Pictures folder is the Documents folder

    Hello. I just reset my PC and I was trying to move the downloads, pictures and documents folder from Local Disk (CI moved the Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders to the D:\ drive, but Documents is... :) to Local Disk (DI moved the Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders to the D:\ drive, but Documents is... :). I clicked properties>location>move and moved them to Local Disk (DI moved the Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders to the D:\ drive, but Documents is... :), but I think i forgot to create a folder while adding them separately, so they became Local Disk (DI moved the Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders to the D:\ drive, but Documents is... :) and all 3 folders renamed to D:\, I pressed on all 3 'Restore Default' and they are all renamed to Documents. When I try to click again 'Restore Default', every folder is shown as Documents, I have all 3 folders, it shows all the original icons, but it's all Documents. I tried to do research to fix but I couldn't find anything helpful.

    I think I have the same issue with this person:
