Windows 10: Incorrectly moved Documents folder & can't figure out how to restore it to the original...

Hello,A few weeks ago I moved my Pictures and Videos folder to a hard drive to remove anything form the C: drive that isn't for the Windows OS. I partitioned only 120 gigs for the OS and everything else is on a separate partition or separate hard drive. I wanted to clean up my desktop and organize my documents folder, which was still located in the C: drive. Forgetting how exactly I properly moved the videos and pictures folders, I incorrectly moved the Documents folder to my E: drive Where pictures and videos are located, and now everything is screwed up. The registry for all three folders
