  1. Missing "\" in "This PC" Folder location path


    Hello everyoneI recently add a Windows/Linux dual-boot to my computer. To access files from both OS, I created a NTFS partition called D:, created the native user folders structure Documents, Images, Music, Videos, etc. and moved all my personnal files into them.Then I changed folder paths location in "This PC" to easily access the new structure, for example changing "C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents" to "D:\Documents" in Properties->Location Tab.Most changes went fine and folders in D: were correctly linked, but I made a typo mistake and wrote D:Videos let's

    Location Tab Missing from Almost All Folders

    I assume your referring to the Location tab in the Properties of user folders .... Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, etc

    If the tab is missing, it would suggest you're not looking at/accessing the actual user system folder, but simply folders that have the same name(s).

    Do the folder listing(s) in Windows/File Explorer have the user system icon, or are they just plain common everyday folder icons?

    Try restoring the icons to their default location C:\Users\username\

    Note : "Restoring" doesn't mean simply copy/move > paste. The registry has to be adjusted accordingly. This forum has steps to do just that ...
    Restore Default Location of Personal Folders in Windows 10

    Looking at this part, and having second thooughts ...

    Yo don't "create" user system folders, you have to re-locate them from the original system location (as indicated above).

    But if you're referring to everyday-usage user-created personal folders ..... they don't have a Location tab.

  3. Last folder path location

    Hi,

    Please share the information to assist you better.

    • How are trying to save the file?
    • Have you installed all the pending updates?
    Open the location that you want to create the folder. Using Windows File Explorer, navigate to the location that you want your new folder to reside. You can create a folder at any location on your hard drive.

    Click the "New Folder" button in the menu bar at the top of the window to create a new folder in the preferred location.

    This cannot be achieved in Windows 10 because it is designed in such a way. Although you can send your valuable feedback to this link.

    I suggest you to post your valuable suggestions in Windows feedback app. So, that developers will try to implement it in future Windows 10 Builds to enhance user experience.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
