[attachment=3002]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

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... Big Grin

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
Corrupt profile, very common thing

Problem solved
