I keep screwing things up. I have a desktop computer running Windows 10. The computer has an internal D drive with much more storage than the C drive. I had moved the My Documents, Videos, Pictures successfully from the C to the D drive months ago, but I can't remember how I did it. Now I want to move the DESKTOP and DOWNLOADS folders from the C drive to the D drive as well.
Every time now, when I tried to move the location of the desktop from the C to the D drive, it's recreates the target folder. (Takes it over / renames it)
I wanted to move the Desktop folder from C:\Users\Shawn to D:\SHAWN'S STUFF. I want to put the deskop folder INTO the SHAWN'S STUFF folder.
However, every-time I try to do this, it renames the SHAWN'S STUFF folder into Desktop. It doesn't just rename it, it takes it over. The SHAWN'S STUFF folder becomes the desktop. The items that are already in the SHAWN'S STUFF folder (documents, music, pictures, video) disappears when it becomes Desktop.
Again, I had done this before, maybe a year ago, but I can't figure out how I did things differently, or what I'm doing wrong now, I follow the instructions I find online. I have to do a system image restore when the folder is renamed to DESKTOP.
In the image below, PICTURE 1 is pre-moving of the desktop folder. The contents of the SHAWN'S STUFF folder are shown by the arrow. PICTURE 2 is how it looks after "moving" the desktop into the SHAWN'S STUFF folder.
