    So, recently I've installed Windows 10 and a bit of some software. Then, I've made some changes, listed below.

    Changes in Registry:

    • Program Files (also x86 and W6432dir) path: D:\Soft
    • Common Files (also x86 and W6432dir) path: D:\CommonFiles

    Changes in User Folders:

    • Moved every folder (like Downloads, Pictures, Documents, Video, etc.) to D:\users\username

    Now every time 5 minutes after startup system creates a new desktop over original one. It is not a Virtual Desktop that you could create with Win+Ctrl+D hotkey, but a broken clone of default main Desktop.

    Here's how it looks like:

    At first glance, perfectly normal first launch desktop

    But here's my main taskbar showing over a bugged one

    Some app is listed in Taskbar, but its button doesn't have an icon. Trying to open it throws this error

    List of available drives is incorrect, there should be more. In main instance of File Explorer, list of drives is correct

    What could be causing this issue? How it could be fixed, optionally keeping most of my changes intact? I want to install software and store personal files on another drive by default.

    System is Windows 10 Pro N edition.

    Windows 10 problem with duplicated icons in taskbar, broken Jump Lists


    Hello,


    I‘ve been recently having a problem with duplicated items in taskbar and broken Jump Lists. I‘m now using Windows 10 but this problem occurred in Windows 8.1 too but then it somehow fixed itself. Some programs that I pin to taskbar have a tendency to duplicate themselves when clicked on. For now, I‘ve noticed this behaviour only in Skype and Spotify but it‘s still very annoying since duplicate icons take valuable taskbar space and even more—make Jump Lists of those programs broken, meaning that you can still see tasks program developers provided but after you click them nothing happens.


    I‘ve tried loads of times pinning, repinning, deleting whole User Pinned folder from %appdata%/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Quick Launch, clearing Jump List folders manually and automatically with Command Prompt commands as suggested here with no luck. The only thing I did achieve was when I pinned Skype to taskbar in my other user account, then copied the newly created shortcut from Use Pinned folder to my User Pinned folder—this made Skype Jump Lists working but duplicate icon in taskbar remained.


    I‘ve recently found a tutorial which may force taskbar to use only one icon per app but I can‘t check this right now as 7+ Taskbar Tweaker isn‘t yet officially available for Windows 10 users.


    Thank you for taking your time and reading my message, any suggestions would be appreciated,





    P. S. I don‘t know if this is related but I can‘t pin any Control Panel item to Quick Access whilst I can pin folders. Interesting side of this is that pinned Control Panel items appear in File Explorer's Jump List but after clicked I get a message that item is unavailable and that it might have been moved, renamed or removed.

    Setting New Location Of User Folder to another User Folder

    Hi Renee,

    Having an easy access to the Desktop folder can give you a convenience on opening your files. Regarding your concern about the Desktop folder that was moved to the Downloads section, we recommend that you create a new local user or administrator account to
    resolve the issue.

    To create a local user or administrator account, follow the steps listed on this
    link
    .

    In addition, to move your files from the Downloads folder back to the Desktop folder, we suggest that you manually copy and paste the files to avoid any data loss.

    Feel free to post back if you need more help.
