Hi, strange rabbit holes.
%USERPROFILE%\Favorites - ok (but that won't be the Favorites folder you refer to as being on your desktop, renamed Documents - or is it?)
echo %USERPROFILE% - ok
Documents and Pictures however came back Not Found. - sthg wrong.
Have you ever used the Locate tab (properties sheet - rt click on a folder like Documents - to relocate it?)
Seems like the basic folder structure of your user profile has been damaged.
Let's try to fix it step by step - see how far we get- but no guarantees. You might end up needing to create a new user.. and transferring things between users is far from straightforward.
First, go to %userprofile% in explorer.
You would expect to see- assuming you hadn't relocated them-
Contacts
Desktop
Documents
Downloads
Favourites - or Favorites
Links
Music
Pictures
Saved Games
Searches
Videos
- perhaps OneDrive
- and perhaps some others related to programs you've installed
You said Documents and Pictures were not found, so create those folders.
Now post a screenshot of your
%userprofile%
folder.
(Note- inspect the icons for those folders- are they correct?)
Also please post a screenshot of your folders on D: showing the ones we're interested in (the icons may be helpful).
What happens now when you put
%USERPROFILE%\Documents
%USERPROFILE%\Pictures
in the explorer address bar?
