I accidentally changed a User folder into a a desktop. Is there a way to restore original user folder?
That error was shown because the your user name folder was renamed to Desktop. To fix that error, follow these steps:
- Rename the new Desktop folder to your user name. Let assume user name is
Andrew. For example, the renaming will be fromC:\Users\DesktoptoC:\Users\Andrew. - Check if a folder exists as
C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop. If that folder doesn't exist create a Desktop folder inC:\Users\Andrewdirectory. - Then try to 'Restore Default' as usual. See this article for further reading.
