About this tag
Discussions about changing the location of default folders and files in Windows, including OneDrive default folder, media folders (Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Music, Videos), and offline files. Users seek to move these from the system drive (C:) to another drive for storage management, especially when using a small SSD for the OS. Issues include missing 'Location' tab in folder properties, inability to change folder paths, and unintended changes to folder locations. Solutions involve manual methods or registry edits. The tag covers troubleshooting these location changes across Windows 7, 10, and possibly other versions.
