    May have merged user and desktop


    I was moving my desktop, documents, music, etc. folders to another drive to free up space on my C drive. I may have merged these folders with the users folder at some point. At first every file when into the desktop. Also desktop, documents, music, etc. now all have the same name "documents". Plus the original "desktop" content is not on the desktop anymore. There are now multiple desktop folders.

  2. Desktop and user folder merging

    Hi,

    There are different ways for you to recover the previous folder settings on your computer. One of these is by following the steps below to organize and relocate your desktop or user folder.

    • Press Windows key + E to launch File Explorer.
    • Right-click on the special folder that you want to restore (Desktop).
    • Then select Properties.
    • Navigate to the Location tab.
    • Click Restore Default.
    • Then click Apply to save the changes.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Company merging on the horizon

    The Inq. talks about some major company merging that could take place this summer. What is likely to happen is summarized in the following list:

    • eBay is in talks with Microsoft and Yahoo regarding cooperation and perhaps even a combination
    • Oracle, SAP and perhaps Novell might be "up to something"
    • Telecoms will surely continue to be a big source of deal-making and not just through attempts to build scale and geographic coverage. Deals such as Sky-Easynet and eBay-Skype suggest that combinations of services could be the way forward.
    • Sun might be bought by Fujitsu Siemens, HP or Dell
