Hey.

When I installed a new SSD disk into my pc I started to transfer the files and accidentally while I was distracted transfer the Downloads folder to the general disk (the downloads folder is now named D:) when I try to transfer the file location back to the original location (C:\User\david\downloads) I get a message saying there was an error and that my access is denied. I am wondering how would I be able to fix this cuz till now (been trying to fix this for the last week) I wasn't able to find a solution. In advance thanks for your help,

    Hi David

    I am Dave, I will help you with this, it is a common problem and is easily fixed.

    1

    Where do you ultimately want the Downloads folder to be, is that in a folder on the D drive?

    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.
