      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.

          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 Pictures
            

            I hope it is this simple.

              Tried that one yesterday. It was not.

                            @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!
