    2. While in File Explorer, click/tap on the View tab, and click/tap on
    Options in the ribbon.

    Documents folder renamed videos

    Hi and welcome.

    Have you tried going to C:\Users\*your user name*\ and right clicking on the Videos (which should be Documents) folder to rename it?

    Why is my document and video folder saying "D:\" how do I rename it?

    Documents folder renamed to Downloads

    Last night I was copying Pictures and Documents to external drives as backups.

    Now I see two Downloads folders and no documents folder. One downloads folder has the download icon, the other downloads folder has the documents icon, and all the documents. The change does not seem to affect Office and Quicken, they find their files without
    a problem. Tried to rename it back to Documents, but it won't rename.

    Suggestions?
