  1. This PC folders have merged and cant change it back.


    I just finished installing my SSD and moving things around. When i tried to make my This pc files folder location my Hardrive instead of my SSD they all merged (is what i think happened) and they were all names videos then photos and now downloads has been renamed to 3D objects and i cant change it back. Any help is appreciated and any questions regarding more info on whats happening would be great.

    Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10  


    Without changing the owner and permissions of the keys in steps 1 and 2, the .reg files will not be able to fully merge, and those keys will not be changed. Those keys are responsible for the folders showing in the navigation pane if you open the folder pinned to Quick access or Start list.

    WIndows 10, copy/merge folder dialog option backwards?

    Steps to Reproduce

    • Set Windows Explorer Options to "Hide folder merge conflicts" unchecked
    • Create a folder called folderA
    • Create a folder called folderB
    • Copy folderA to folderB
    • Move folderA to folderB

    Actual

    • Nothing happens

    Now try this:

    • Set Windows Explorer Options to "Hide folder merge conflicts" checked
    • Create a folder called folderA
    • Create a folder called folderB
    • Copy folderA to folderB
    • Move folderA to folderB

    Actual

    • The merge dialog appears

    QUESTIONS:

    • Shouldn't setting "Hide folder merge conflicts" to be unchecked mean that the dialog should appear, rather than the opposite?
    • If there is a merge conflict, is is normal for it to fail silently?

    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.
