I got a new PC with windows 10, set up my user account. I had to set up an outlook account and gave it a similar name. Let's say my outlook account is "user2" and my windows account is "user1" I copied my documents files to c:\users\user1\documents and pictures to c:\users\user1\pictures and downloads to c:\users\user1\download. Then I started to install the programs. I have one file that uses microsoft works so installed works. That broke Microsoft edge.
I gave up on Microsoft edge working. I have a personal website that uses just plain vanilla HTML. Edge could not open it. So, silly me, I went back to the original restore point. That really messed things up. All the document, download, and picture files ended up on onedrive. I moved them to the correct c:\user directories and updated the pointers on favorites and "thispc" to the cloud drive on C:users\"user1"\onedrive and some onto c:\users\"user2"\cloud then logged me into "user2". I checked the accounts on this computer, and only user2 and asp.net exists.
Previously it was "user1" and "user2" did not exist. There is just one account on this computer. When I set it up, it was" user1". Now everything seems to be on "user2." I cannot change the pointers -- it gives me an error saying I don't have permission to do so. It seems that every time I reboot, the pointers change. I changed the names of documents, pictures, and download to something else to prevent them from being reassigned.
Do I need to reload the software from scratch? Is there some way to fix this?
I would like to have only one user and the data files to be in c:\"user"\documents, c:\"user"\pictures , and c:\"user"\downloads, etc.
