| | Desktop Location Changed My Desktop folder somehow got changed to a path in my Documents directory. When I delete it, everything on my desktop is deleted (except the Recycle Bin). I also get a warning everytime I open up an explorer window now saying it can't find the location where the desktop folder I deleted was. Is there a simply way to return the location of the Desktop directory to it's default? |
