Help - made a mistake and can't fix...
I just bought a Synology NAS and connected it to my home network. I am using it as the central storage for all files. I wanted the Desktop on my CPU to be a location on that NAS (in other words, instead of things I save on my Desktop residing on my c drive (or OneDrive), the desktop would 'point' to a NAS network location. I went to Win Explorer, right clicked on Desktop, went into properties, then location. In the 'you can change the location where files in the is folder are stored to another place...' box, I intended to change it:
from: C:\users\[me]\OneDrive\Desktop
to: \\[SynologyDrive]\[folder] (where I had created a '[me]Desktop' folder to point to)
..but I think I changed it to: \\[SynologyDrive (without the specfic folder added)
I hit 'ok' and then all of the folders on my SynologyNAS appeared on my desktop (which was certainly not my intention). They don't seem to have copied over, but basically my desktop now looks 'mirrored', eg just like if I went into Win Explorer and clicked on that drive. There is no longer a 'Desktop' folder in Win Explorer, so I can't revisit the change. I can't figure out how to reverse this. Please advise. thank you.
