In Windows 7 I had moved My Documents
to My D:\ drive and called it "Docs". I have since added other folders (for my wife and kids) so have renamed it with my name "Ciaran"
In both Windows 7 and Windows 10, the display folder name was "Ciaran" but the path is D:\Docs
when I look in the address bar of Windows Explorer.
How do I change the folder path to Ciaran i.e. D:\Ciaran
?
Interestingly if I rename it to Ciaran1 the path becomes
This is incorrect - even when renaming the folder the path remains D:\Ciaran1
but reverts to D:\Docs
if I rename it back to Docs.D:\Docs
but the desktop.ini for the folder changes the LocalizedResourceName
to Ciaran1
Presumably it is some registry setting but not sure where to look and it could take a while to find it.
PowerShell:
PS D:\> ls
