Windows 10: Missing buttons in "Location" tab in "Documents Properties" window

Hello,I have a problem:We used to use Roaming profiles and are now migrating to Onedrive, but when I turned off file sync and removed roaming profile from users in AD I noticed that I can change the location to default for music, videos and pictures, but not for documents folder, since all the buttons are missing, I'm also unable to edit the location by hand. Maybe someone can nudge me in the right direction?This is the location window:

Location-tab in Properties

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The information provided by you in the post, seems to be the Location tab is missing under
Properties.



Usually the Location tab will be present under
Properties for the folders listed under Quick Access (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures) and folders listed under
This PC (3d Objects, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos).



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please provide us the screenshot of the windows where you are not able to get the
Location tab under properties. (Please follow the steps mentioned in the

screenshot posted by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshots.) Do not share any personal information in the screenshots.



We await your response.

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.
