Hi,

I have changed my one drive folder settings which also contains my Desktop and Documents. However, whenever I restart my pc, the settings on path below go back the older onedrive settings so I get a mix of files in two different folders that I have already merged. Any way to lock certain registry field ? s.n. it's done with Admin account

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

***Moved from Windows / Windows 10 / Performance and system failures***

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | Other | Windows

    Dear AHA164

    Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the community.

    Based on your description, my initial understanding is that after you changed the OneDrive path and restarted your computer your OneDrive save path remains the same as the original save path. If my understanding is wrong, please feel free to point it out.

    In order to better assist you, I need you to provide more information so that we can better judge and analyse the problem for you:

    First of all, you mentioned ‘I have changed my one drive folder settings which also contains my Desktop and Documents.’ I would like to know in what way you have changed your OneDrive save path, and did you follow the steps in the following link? I would like to know by what means you have changed your OneDrive save paths, did you follow the steps in the following link?

    Secondly, could you give us some details? For example, when you mention "However, whenever I restart my pc, the settings on path below go back the older onedrive settings so I get a mix of files in two different folders that I have already merged.", is it that you need to choose the location after you change the OneDrive save path and then restart your PC and link OneDrive again, or is it that you restarted your PC and OneDrive was already connected automatically and chose your previous save path?

    As I don't know your specific situation at this time, please share the above information with me so that I can better assist you.

    Thank you for your support and understanding!

    Have a wonderful day!

    Best Regards,
