  Capture.PNG (Size: 17.42 KB / Downloads: 503) so I was trying to move my user folders (documents,picture,videos,music.downloads etc to my second internal hd and now its all messed up.

I tried chkdsk f/ r/
I tried sfc /scannow
I tried a method at seven forums called User Folders - Restore Default Location
I tried C:\Users\Christopher Davis\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows and restoring the libraries defaults

and my system restore is off so I couldn't restore the folders using previous versions

im really stuck

Hi Smirk24,

Sorry to hear you having trouble with your user folders, but rest assured, we will do our best to help you!

What I suggest we do is restore the default locations of your user folders (documents,picture,videos,music.downloads etc)

Please follow this guide to restore default locations:

Ignore Option 1 and go to Option 2

Hope this helps

Rule #1: Always create a restore point or image of the system before Twerking. Just in case you Twerk it up...

Ive always had bad experiences when id use system restore so I don't make it a habit to use restore. I did make a backup of my registry as soon as I hit the desktop after the install though

Have you tried renaming the location folder?

Make sure 'view all files / folders' has been selected to see if a hidden empty file / folder exists.

I created a new user and deleted the user account i was having issues with and just copied the files to my new account.

We can close the thread
