Can't Restore Desktop to Original Location

OK, this is a common problem . . .

• Create a new folder on your D drive called Desktop
• Move any files that should be on your Desktop into this new folder
• Then in file explorer, on the left side, click Quick Access
• On the right hand side right click your Desktop folder, choose Properties
• On the location tab, click Move and select the new folder (D:\Desktop) as the new location
• When you are asked if you want to merge files, select No (this is important)
• Click Apply and OK and close the properties Dialog

Finally if you want to restore your Desktop folder to its default location, open the properties dialog again and click 'Restore Default' . . .
