  1. What are these folders and configs?


    Hello, Ì downloaded some games outside Steam, Epic Games etc, where other share them, not pirated games though! Deleted the games, and saw on Steam that some stuff where left on my D drive, I ran WizTree and saw that. I have cleaned the Disk and created a new volume, seems like it's not being deleted. I will note that this is the first time I've seen them on my Disk.Thanks!

    :)

  4. What are these folders and configs?

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is unavalible. Windows 10 error.

    Hi,

    I suggest you to refer the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Navigate to "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile”
    and check if the Desktop folder exist.

    Step 2: In the event that you cannot find the folder, create a folder name it as
    “Desktop” or copy it from “c:/user/default/Desk

    Note: Once you open the User folder the Default folder will be hidden. To unhide click on the “View” tab and check the “Hidden Items” box.

    Also after you have created the folder, it will be required that you give full permission to the folder. Follow the steps below to give permission.

    • Right click on the folder, click on the “Security” tab and then click on the
      “Edit” button.
    • This will navigate you to “Permission for Desktop”.
    • Select “Everyone” and then click on the “Add”
      button.
    • In the “Enter the object name to select” dialog box type
      “Everyone” and click on “Check Names”.
    • Once done click on “OK”
    Hope this information helps. Revert to us with the results, will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
