Duplicate subfolders in User folder
« on: January 15, 2017, 10:46:33 pm »
I am not sure how it happened, but for some reason, I now have duplicate subfolders in user folder. I know that I can reset or rebuild the system, but I prefer not too

Does this follow running Windows Repair, downloading anything or anything else you may have done ?

Personally I'd see if restore points would help.

I think the restore point was damaged, can't roll back, I ran windows repair, but it didn't help

It's basically the time difference between asking and getting a response.

The program can't have done anything to make duplicate subfolder, but I have done that on a number of occasions by accident with my mouse.

What folders are they? System folders?

I have a question do you have your user profile on a different hard disk drive or on a different partition? or not even your user profile but the folders with in it like my documents music videos etc.?
