This may help: Go back to the Location tab and choose Restore Default. It will usually ask you two questions. Something like "Are you sure?" and "Move the files?". If you say Yes to the first, and No to the 2nd, it usually works. Then you have to manually move the files back to where they belong.

If that doesn't help, consider using the two batch files here:

to restore your Desktop and Documents folders (#4 and #5). You might need to right click on them and choose Run as Admin.
