My Desktop was deleted and replaced by Dropbox- how can I get it back?
I had dropbox for about 4 hours, during which it uploaded massive amounts of stuff I didn't want it to. I couldn't figure out how to make it behave nicely, so I got rid of it.
It seems that in the interim, Dropbox replaced my local disk desktop with a desktop with 'dropbox' in the path, and created a huge file on my computer to store all its contents. This played havoc with Blender and other file search system. When I finally tracked it down and eliminated it, I have been unable to get a regular desktop back. The Dropbox desktop does not show 'dropbox' in the address bar in the windows search, but it is distinct from my attempt to create a new desktop- which holds files alright, but won't appear as a desktop.
I don't have a restore point, I have tried installing the latest Windows update, rebooting, etc, but nothing helps.
How do I get a regular desktop back and eliminate this dropbox clone once and for all?
I'm now running on Windows version 2004
