Vista - Missing Location tab in folder Properties

**Kheyno** · 12-14-2009

I am new to this forum and would like some help on a folder properties issue. All my document folders like Pictures, Music, Documents, etc. have been redirected to a different partition than C:/ All except for the Videos folder as there is no Location tab in the Properties window. I searched other threads but have not found a solution. Could someone please help me out here?

Hello Kheyno, and welcome to Vista Forums.

There may have been a mistake made when moving the Videos folder. This should be able to help though.

Backup anything that you do not want to lose in the Videos folder to another location.
Restore the default Videos folder location (Option Three).
Delete all Videos folders including any at C:\Users\(user-name) and in the Start Menu.
Type shell:My Video in the Start Menu search box and press enter.
Restart the computer to apply. It may take a couple of times before you see the default Videos folder back.
Now try to move the Videos folder to the other location again if you would still like to.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
