    Windows 8 System videos and music folders screwed

    Thank you again. Your screenshot shows perfectly how the problem can be treated. I moved all the system folders back onto the C: drive and deleted, and then re-created the defective account. All now seems to be back to normal. Your assistance is much appreciated. Sorry to have been so long...

    Windows 8 System videos and music folders screwed

    Thank you again. I, too, am concerned that I managed to bugger the registry. I was not trying to do anything iffy. I was, trying to move the location of the Videos system folder from C: to a corresponding folder on F:. I think I inadvertently pointed it at the Music folder on F:, to which...

    Windows 8 System videos and music folders screwed

    Thanks Mike, I am trying to set up a new machine. I have the OS and programs installed in a relatively small SSD. I have a large number of media files, so I intend to keep them in a separate partition on a large HDD. What I want to do is be able to access them easily using the system folders...

    I did that. I now have two files in C:\Users\Tony called 'Music'. I think the one I created named 'Videos' is the one now showing the music icon, and the other one is now an ordinary folder. Curiously, there is still a folder in F:\ showing the music icon. Double clicking on the ordinary...

    Windows 8 System videos and music folders screwed

    Windows 8 System videos and music folders screwed

    By accident I have screwed up a pair of user system folders. In moving their locations from the system drive to a second drive, I carelessly managed to point the system 'Videos' folder location and the system 'Music' folder location at the same folder. The two system folders are now totally...
