  1. Windows 10 updates changing folder names.


    This is getting old... Every time I do a Windows 10 update which I can't stop happening if I wanted to, the process changes some of my folder names. For example, 'My Documents' becomes 'Documents', 'My Pictures' becomes 'Pictures', but ones like 'My Paperwork' stays as 'My Paperwork'... Why does the update change some folder names and not others, and why can't they just leave the folder names alone, as I have named them?


    I have multiple computers using the same folder naming system, and it does it on all of them. I know the answer is to leave the 'system' folder names to what MS changes them to, but I don't work like that. I name the folder, MS has NO RIGHT to mess with them, they are MY folders, not MicroSoft's...

    Change Folder Icon in Windows 10


    I just acquired a new laptop running Windows 10 and am trying to change the icons of the folders in the StartUp "Program" folder so that they would stand out a little better. I used my admin account and followed all the steps listed above, but when I clicked on "Apply", nothing happened. The same basic windows folder icon remained attached to the folder. I also tried to go into Properties and capitalize some of the folder names, but that didn't work either. Looks like something is protecting them, but I cannot figure out what it is much less how to get around this blockage, Any suggestions?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
