    Windows 11 Desktop Folder


    I recently had to reinstall Windows 11, and thought I would do myself a favour by using the SSD for only apps, and moving all the other file activities to another hard disk drive.I think I may have been too cute by a a half. Using the "Storage" option in "Settings", I changed the default location for saving documents, music etc, to my D:\ drive. At the same time I changed the location of my Desktop to the same D:\ drive - which now means I have files showing up on my Desktop I don't want/need to see. In looking at the "Storage" option in "Settings", I can't select subdirectories for the vario

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    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.
