How do I unmask a folder which was previously masked by a virtual folder called "Desktop"?
I tried to change my desktop folder from D:\test4
to D:\test5
:
In the last step, I didn't move the files from D:\test4
to D:\test5
.
So what happens is that in D:\
, I have a total of 2 virtual folders, both called Desktop
:
1 virtual folder
Desktop
which masks (and points to)D:\test5
1 virtual folder
Desktop
which masks (and points to)D:\test4
Now the contents of D:\test4
is no longer showing on my desktop, however it is still being masked by a virtual folder.
Obviously since D:\test4
is now no longer my Desktop folder, I was trying to make it go back to being a "normal folder" (i.e. not masked).
I was wondering how do I unmask it?
Delete the desktop.ini file (it's hidden by default) in test4 and the "Desktop" name will be gone.
