Windows 10: Making a New Download Folder in the D: Drive

Greetings Everyone,


I came to a problem that I need the community's help with. I got two drives on my pc. An SSD for boot and a hard drive for mass storage. I was trying to change the location of the downloads to my D: drive, but whenever I do, the file automatically installs itself to the Crive download folder. I tried to move it to the D:drive, but it doesn't have an option to do so. So whenever I do try to download something it installs it to the SSD instead of my Hard drive. I am asking for any tips or suggestions that would help me leap towards a way to fix this issue without breaking the rest of my pc.

my d drive and downloads folder is the same folder???

my d drive is the same folder as my downloads folder and the important things I have in my d drive are now in the same place as my downloads and it's bad because sometimes I almost remove things that are important because I forget that my d drive and downloads
folder are the same. Like I have a bunch of folders there that I've almost deleted numerous of times because I think im in the downloads folder and that it's just a copy of the original folder and then I remember that I'm on the actual drive. And it's really
hard to clean out my stuff because I don't know what is what. Like sometimes I don't know if the file or folder in there is something that is downloaded and that I don't need or something important. I don't remember how this happened but I think that I was
trying to make my d drive my main drive and one some way I changed the location of the drive to my downloads folder. Because I wanted the things I download to go into the d drive folder and not the c drive because I use that one for programs but I didn't want
my downloads folder to be my d drive!

Is there any way to change it so my downloads folder is my downloads folder and that my d drive is somewhere else again?

Trying to make a folder that leads to my D drive.

Hi Mohammed,

Creating a shortcut on your desktop that will point to a folder in your D drive is possible. Here's how to do it:

• Open your D drive.
  
• Right-click the folder that you want to create a shortcut for.
  
• Select Send to, then Desktop.

Regards.
