    Internal Error: Failed to expand shell folder constant 'userdesktop'

    Hello, got this baffling error upon startup today. I've never seen this error before, and I am not sure what this was in response to (the only thing that had happened was a few apps launching that launch when my computer starts up). Should I be worried about
    this, and is there anything I can do to fix/avoid this problem? Thank you in advance.

    Internal Error: Failed to expand shell folder constant "userdesktop"

    Internal error: Failed to expand shell folder constant "userstartmenu"

    Error in title comes up when trying to install various programs, and prevents installation. I have not been able to find anything online. I have tried the regedit fix for when the same internal error says "userappdata" but it did not help. I have also
    restored to a restore point before this error began, to no avail.

    Thanks in advance!
