My This PC
folder has the six standard folders - Desktop
, Documents
, Downloads
, Music
, Pictures
, and Videos
.
When I open the properties window for any of these folders besides Downloads
, I get something resembling the following:
Whereas if I open the properties window for Downloads
, I get this:
Note that the window does not have a Location tab. Also note that the actual location has been set to the non-standard location C:\Users
instead of C:\Users\jeff
. I believe I changed this a long time ago but have since forgotten about it.
The Downloads
folder located in C:\Users
has essentially replaced my home directory. The directory jeff
does not even exist in the C:\Users
folder. However, when I type in C:\Users\jeff
into the File Explorer, it takes me to C:\Users\Downloads
.
I've sort of passively accepted all this wonkiness for a while, but I'd like to actually return my PC to normal. As in, make the Downloads
folder located in This PC
to map to C:\Users\jeff\Downloads
, where C:\Users\jeff
actually exists as a distinct directory.
