Hi all,

new win 7 install. Tried to move special folder from ssd to hdd.
Create a new folder on the hdd with the name of the profile. I then assumed when moving folder into it they will be automatically created
-> moved "downloads" folder first and selected that above folder without creating a "downloads" folder in that one and select that one. I realized something went wrong and wanted to move it back. On moving it back i made the same mistake, so the whole user profile folder is now the download folder and it is called "downloads" and not after the user name. However right-click does not work on that one. Can't change the path or move it.

Any ideas? Also tried in registry but with no success.

Hello beginner99

Firstly you can use this to put your user folders back in their default location - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18583-user-folders-restore-default-location.html
Then follow the instructions here to successfully relocate your user folders to your other drive - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18629-user-folders-change-default-location.html or possibly consider this if its a clean install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/87555-user-profile-change-default-location.html
