Windows 10: I recently changed my folder attribute settings in my user folder now half of my programs...

Hello. I recently went into my “Users folder” to enable the “hidden folder” option next to the “read-only” option in attributes to see hidden folders and now half of my icons on my desktop are missing, all my folders in my “users” folder are now under a folder labeled “public” which has folders labeled like “public desktop” “public videos” “public downloads”etc. And when i go to search for the programs in the task bar, it says “preview unavailable”. Im not sure what i did but is this reversible at all? Please help. I have no idea what just happened. My system restore is disabled and i cant restore my pc at all.

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

 

changing file and folder attributes

Continuing the theme of changing attributes....
i now realise that certain file attributes can’t be user defund, as they are read only....
But it seems gilders are even worse.....I have 12 folders January to December.......but windows list these alphabetically......such that April is first followed by August.

cant see any way of changing the sort order, although there may be a way to sort by an attribute, but it seems that It is NOT possible to assign ANY folder attributes......nothing much has changed in this matter since XP....

unless anyone one knows differently
