Files in Pictures folder are on the desktop
I was moving the "pictures" item on the start menu to a folder on my second
disk D. When I closed the folder I found icons for all my picture folders arranged on the desktop. They are actual folders, not shortcuts. In Windows Explorer I can see the folders in their actual location on disk D, and also at the bottom of the left pane. If I delete one from the bottom left pane, the one in the Disk D in the right pane disappears also. If I delete an icon from the desktop, the folder disappears from D -- Bobbie

Files in Pictures folder are on the desktop
Hi,
I don't know what's happening, but maybe you can try to restore your system to a date previous to that and see if it still happens? I find that system restore helps a lot, many times... --Malu "Bob Alexander" wrote in message ... I was moving the "pictures" item on the start menu to a folder on my second disk D.

Sounds like 'Pictures' & 'Desktop' are both pointing to the same folder.
In the Start Search box, type: 'regeditenter' to launch the Registry Editor. Navigate to: [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\User Shell Folders] and edit the path for 'Desktop' and whatever other folders are giving you problems. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Bob Alexander" wrote in message ...
