    Can you please answer this

    where is the desktop users files folder located ??? example (it would be the folder senthil):



    when I click on that folder is similar to the one located in C users, username. but it cant be because i recently moved my documents, pictures, etc to another partition.. this is what I get:



    I found this quite useful, i just want to know where this is located lol besides desktop.... like I already know where the libraries folder is: c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\

    what about that other folder ??

    thanks

    Hello Mikey,

    The "Desktop" folder under Favorites is a shell folder that doesn't have a folder location.

    You can open it's location using the shell command below in Run, search, shortcut, etc.....

    shell:desktop

    Hope this helps, :)
