  1. My Desktop file is now the same file as my HDD and I don't know how to revert it.


    Confusing I know but let me explain.So I have 2 disk drives in my PC, a 128GB SSD, Local Disk C: and a 1TB HDD, New Volume D:. I wanted to put all the "practical" and power hungry softwares in my SSD and keep the rest in my HDD. So, stupid as I am, I thought it would be a good idea to change the location of the Desktop file which was in the local disk to New Volume D: by right clicking it > Properties > Location > Move... . I also did that to the Music file.Right after doing that, I noticed that all the files that were in New Volume D: were now also in my Desktop, which I foun

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Accessing Files

    • Don’t start or end your filename with a space, period, hyphen, or underline.
    • Save your file in a Folder on the C: drive, Desktop or in a Directory (ie) Pictures, Music, Downloads etc

    Converting rmvb files

    K, i had the same problem with 75% of my rmvb files, but after i used this program 100% would convert. If the files play in realplayer it isn;t a problem with the codec.
    Try searching for real alternative if you don;t want to use realplayer - it will let you play rm files in any media player.
