Windows 10: Relocating Folders in Explorer

I use Documents quite a bit, and it's been a real pain having to use SHFT+CTRL+E every time I want to expand my Documents folder in Quick Access. I'd like to be able to move or at least copy all those folders Documents, Downloads, Music, and Pictures Into My PC so I can access them more easily. Apparently, it can be done, as the image below shows:As you can see, all I have in My PC is a list of drives, and so far, I haven't been able to find a way to move those folders down into it: I'd really like to know how to do it.

Windows Explorer Issue-Duplicate D:\ after relocating files

Thank you both for the assistance! For Keith: I created 2 new folders on the D:\ drive as you instructed: Documents and Videos, then I moved the associated files/folders as you instructed into the new folders. I've attached a screenshot of what the directory in Explorer now looks like (note the duplicate D:\ drives under 'This PC'.



For the next step, I want to be sure that I make the correct changes in the registry (and I certainly don't want to make anything worse!). When I open the registry as you instructed, I see under Personal the current Value is D:\. Under My Video it is C:\Users\'my user initials'\Video. Are you suggesting that I rename Personal to D:\Documents, then change the value to the new 'string' that you suggested and rename My Video to D:\Videos, also inserting the new 'string' that you suggested?

Again, many, many thanks for your assistance!

Windows 10 - Relocate Public Folders (Documents, Music, Videos, etc.)

Hello,

To relocate your public folders, the best option is to run your computer as Administrator. Follow the steps below:

• Close all windows > Press Windows key + X >
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• Click the Start button > Press and hold Ctrl +
  Shift then right-click on an empty area in the taskbar > Choose
  Exit Explorer on the pop-up menu.
• Go to the admin Command Prompt window > Type explorer.exe >
  Enter.
• Now you can open up the original public folders and should have full access to the location tab, including restore, move, and find target buttons.

Note: Once you've done moving your public folders, log off and then log back in to return explorer to normal state. This is an important security step.

Let us know what happens after.
