    1809 screwed my Public directories that I had moved


    Just a word of warning.

    Yesterday I updated my desktop to 1809.

    prior to this I had moved my Public directories using the MKLINK / J....... command.

    The update appeared to go fine but on rebooting, I discovered it had put the Public directories back on the C drive, and both the C drive and the disk I had moved them to, both had completely empty Public directories.

    I decided to clean install 1809 and leave Public on C drive, this worked fine
