    Please see attached screenshot which tells me documents folder is located on D.

    Need

    How to restore "Documents" folder to default location on C: ? as I can not find documents folder on D but its located on D.


    Thanks for your all in advance.

    Hello online, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You could use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to restore the default location of your Documents folder. Afterwards, you can try moving it again. :)

    online,

    Actually you do not need to have the Documents folder present to be able to use OPTION TWO to restore it. :)
