      ppens.
      I cannot get it put back to the normal location.

      I'm assuming this is for the OneDrive app, there is a registry fix for it which supposedly can be run from here.

        Check this registry entry:

        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
        My Pictures
        

        I hope it is this simple.

          Tried that one yesterday. It was not.

              No, I never found that one.. That looks encouraging.

                      no it is a personal computer, but still Windows Pro.. I found it finally..

                      There was a second key in the damned registry. Once I changed that one also, it went back to normal.

                        @JaredBusch Nice find. the second one is the once changed by the setting in your video. That other one must be an override to enforce M$ wishes on the end user!
