No idea what I've done!

What pic....there is no pic.

Apologies Plankton, brain like a sieve.

What it looks like to me is that your pictures folder had be renamed to desktop. The first desktop icon is the correct one. The 2nd icon, you clearly see the the picture in the icon is of a picture. You may be able to rename it and if that fails reset file explore folder views.

• With File Explorer open, tap or click the File option at the top of the window and choose Change folder and search options.
• Once the Folder Options window opens, tap or click the dropdown box for Open File Explorer to and make your choice.
• Hit OK to save it.

Hi Plankton

Doesn't give me much choice, it is either This PC or Quick Access

PS Both of the folders named Desktop under MY PC have my desktop items on them, but neither have my recently downloaded films, I need to go to C My username Desktop to see them.

Try this tutorial to reset the default location of the Pictures folder -
Restore Default Location of Personal Folders in Windows 10

This is the perfect example as to why you should never download files directly to Desktop since you will lose them if the User profile is corrupted. You should only place shortcuts to the folders on the Desktop so the content is in a folder that you can find under User name.

Tried that and nothing has changed. Sorry to be a PITA

So I've just been into C:/USERS/MYUSERNAME and tried to make a folder called Pictures, it came up with a box saying you already have a folder called DESKTOP I didn't try to make a folder called Desktop, I tried to make a folder called Pictures. I've tried the above link, inc the BAT file method and still it remains. Sorry guys

So basically I have found it isn't allowing me to make a Pictures folder either
