Windows 10: Location-tab in Properties

Hallo!

I am using windows10

In all my property-windows I am missing my "Location3-tab.

So I can't move certain personal files in a proper way.

Can someone help me with this?

:)

 

Documents Location Changed But Property Location Is Correct - ???


I can't figure out why E:\Gary can't be seen in File Explorer.

Sooooo .... let's try to get the special User folders back to normal

These are ok per the location tab you posted
Music C:\Users\Gary\Music
Pictures C:\Users\Gary\Pictures




Documents: E:\Videos\Documents location points to E:\Gary\Documents
Videos: E:\Videos location points to E:\Videos (Could you confirm that with the properties> location tab)

Try this in this order

On E:\Videos\Documents
Select properties > location tab
Press the [ Restore Default ] button
Yes to move files if prompted

On E:\Videos
Select properties > location tab
Press the [ Restore Default ] button
Yes to move files if prompted

That should put the two user folders back on C:\Users\Gary - please confirm the locations after restoring the default

If everything looks good, then all that is left is to figure out why E:\Gary isn't visible in File Explorer
Then put the folders where you want them. I might suggest a different structure if this becomes a sticky mess

Something like E:\Usr\Gary\Userfolders - but see if the above resolves the issue.

It's very possible that E:\Gary is really E:\Videos and is masked by the slight of hand Windows does with the special folders.

 

Changed the 'downloads' location to E-Drive. Couldn't reverse!!
