I really only did the system image part as a couple of replies to my original issue mentioned doing a backup before trying to move the Documents folder and I was just being overly cautious. I never...
The whole System Image thing confuses me. I found an entry in answers.microsoft.com from 2021 that said to use Backup and Restore (Windows 7), so if Microsoft said to stop using it, the left and...
I do agree with Spunk as that "sounds" logical. However, I think I might wait a little while before I try it.
Thanks
Pentagon,
If you read thru the whole thread you should be able to understand what is going on. Using the Location tab DID NOT WORK !

What I created is a System Image created by Backup and Restore (Windows 7). Hopefully I'll never need it.
I tried just changing the registry entries but it did not work. Like I said, odd that it works at all since it is using PUBLIC.
Actually I already had most of my documents in D:\jack6\Documents,...
So I looked close and it IS VERY STRANGE. The entries in User Shell Folders use %PUBLIC%, which is C:\Users\Public and the ones in Backup use %USERPROFILE% which is C:\Users\jack6. Have NO idea how...
Yeah, I've been doing this about the same amount of time (still have some DOS and Windows diskettes in my archive). I liked the earlier Windows much more than today, things were much simpler.
Thanks for all the help. I had been following the "Move Location of Documents Folder in Windows 10" tutorial, and that points out an issue I have run into before. There are multiple ways to do almost...
I am trying to move C:\Users\jack6\Documents to D:\jack6\Documents. I am following what is in https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/74952-move-location-documents-folder-windows-10-a.html. If I go to...
I've have been working with computers since before IBM announced the IBM PC, and I'm pretty sure I have used every version of Microsoft Windows from Windows 2.0 to Window 10. And that includes...
"just signing in to the Store" ? If that is true then it is possible that was the problem, as I am pretty sure I remember doing that. Like I said, I know how to revert it, it was it happening without...
I do have a separate Administrator account on that system, but it is a Local account. I have not checked to see if it is still working correctly though.
And how would you link that to a Microsoft...
To make this more confusing ... it has always been possible to manage your system using a Local account vs a Microsoft account, as it was not required for you to have a Microsoft account. I am not...
Since I installed this system 3 years ago the primary username and password has been the same. Then a couple of days ago Windows did an update (see below). After I rebooted I tried to make a change...
So I have a related question. I just looked at my AppData\Local and there are a bunch of directories with names I do not recognize. IsolatedStorage, LogMeIn Rescue Applet, SquirrelTemp and a bunch...
First, I installed Wiztree, and they are not kidding, it is 46x faster than Windirstat. :-)
Disk Space:
OS(C:) Local Disk (SSD) 103GB 26GB free
DATA(D:) Local Disk (HD) 901GB 801GB free...
I need to recover some disk space on my C: drive, so I ran Windirstat to see what was there. I noticed that C:\Windows\WinSxS was 9.4GB, so I checked into what the directory was for (system...
I'm sorry, but an Event Viewer logging ERRORs that don't seem to have an impact on the system is pretty stupid. Appears that Windows just throws LOTS of errors that have no real meaning and can be...
I get the error below whenever I start up. I read a number of forum entries about this error, but there did not seem to be a solution. My Windows Update service is running just fine, I am just trying...
So every once in a while I browse to a website and then somehow later on start getting email from that website without agreeing to anything. I am assuming that somehow a script on that webpage ran...
A screenshot of the page the Privacy Settings link goes to for Camera is what I attached (it actually goes to the Mic page first instead). That was the first thing I did when this problem started....
So I followed the steps you suggested and the data is below. Does not look like anything is wrong, but then again, I'm not sure what is right or wrong. The issue is that if I start the Windows Camera...
You are correct, it is a Discovery problem not a Networking issue. I did even not think about trying to use \\SUPERSPORT in File Explorer. Annoys me as I should have, as I have been doing this a long...
I am having a couple of issues with my Win 10 system. I think I may have accidently stopped or reconfigured something, as my camera will not work correctly and my network will not show all the...
