Solved Unable to set Pictures folder back to default location
-
I have a user with that let OneDrive take over the Pictures folder. Whatever shit happens.
I cannot get it put back to the normal location.
Any suggestions?
-
no it is a personal computer, but still Windows Pro.. I found it finally..
There was a second key in the damned registry. Once I changed that one also, it went back to normal.

ppens.
I cannot get it put back to the normal location.I'm assuming this is for the OneDrive app, there is a registry fix for it which supposedly can be run from here.

Check this registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders My PicturesI hope it is this simple.

@JaredBusch Nice find. the second one is the once changed by the setting in your video. That other one must be an override to enforce M$ wishes on the end user!
