Hi Sir,

Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

Hi Abdullah,

Thank you for the screenshot.

I think you are getting that error because it is currently in the OneDrive folder in your User folder.

1

Open the D drive in File Explorer

If there is no Pictures folder in this folder, create it:

D:\Users\mabdu

So now, you have this folder, is that correct?

D:\Users\mabdu\Pictures

Close File Explorer.

2

Open the Registry Editor again, it will still be on the same page.

3

Double click My Pictures, set its Value Data to this and click OK

D:\Users\mabdu\Pictures

4

Double click {0DDD015D-B06C-45D5-8C4C-F59713854639}, set its Value Data to this and click OK

D:\Users\mabdu\Pictures

5

Close the Registry Editor, then restart (not shut down) your PC to apply that setting.

To tidy up, you need to move your image files from C:\Users\mabdu\OneDrive\Pictures over to D:\Users\mabdu\Pictures

Answer 2

Thanks a lot Sir, it worked.

Stay Blessed!!!

Answer 3

Current Location: C:\Users\mabdu\OneDrive

To move in: D:\Users\mabdu

Hi Abdullah,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

What is the current location of that Pictures folder, and where exactly are you trying to move that folder to?

2

Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on.

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Please provide a screenshot of that Registry Editor page.
