Hi, I moved my users folder to my secondary drive, but now the disk shows within the users folder. I know it doesn't affect performance-wise, ut I'd like to avoid possible directory issues.
Thanks!

Exactly how was the Users folder moved? Reason for asking: the answer will probably help others who have been there/done that successfully to give you their answer as to the disk-within-folder situation. I want to learn more about this.

Right-click -> Location -> move to
This was done with all user folders. However, the issue appeared after I moved the Desktop Folder to D:

You didn't move the Users folder to D:
As you can see it is still on C:\Users (ou C:\Usuarios)
What you did was to change the link from your library from C: to some place in D:
As you can see, my folder tree shows D:\users

As you can see it is still on C:\Users (ou C:\Usuarios)
What you did was to change the link from your library from C: to some place in D:
As you can see, my folder tree shows D:\users
So if I move (cut/paste) the C:/user folder into D: , it'll solve the driver location issue?
