    Somehow I have two common default folders


    There are several default folders. While I was trying to reset OS and restore my library location into drive D, I somehow merged the location of two distinct folders (download and documents) into one. For which they still have distinct icons but share the location and name. Even though I tried to change the location of them, they share the location and name.


    How can I separate them into two?

    Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


    "uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
    Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.
