Documents folder's name

0

I have changed the path where the "Documents" folder is stored, moving it from the C: unit to the D: unit (another local unit of my PC). Initially I made a mistake moving under D: and not under D:\User\Documents where I actually want it and also the name of the folder was changed, from "Documents" to "D:". Now I have removed the folder in the new correct position, but I also would like to rename it; unfortunately it seems impossible and moreover the name showed in the property window is "Documents". I attach two pictures (italian language) in order to explain the situation.

The name of the folder "Documents" is "D:"

The name in property window is correctly "Documents"

My OS is Windows 10.

1Does the Properties -> Location tab not allow you to move it again? If not, you could try the Restore Default button and start again. The name is set in the General tab, but you can change it only from the full path, not the quick access short-cut. I hope you back up everything in the directory before you change any settings. – AFH – 2017-10-28T11:58:54.140

The safest way to move any of the special system folders is through the Location (Percorso) tab of the properties. Nirsoft's Special Folders View makes it easy to list them. Right-click on My Documents, which may or may not be Documenti, select Folder Properties, and then the Location tab. Note that, in the example below, the generic My Documents special folder is the folder Documents, a level of indirection, and that in Windows Explorer it shows as just Documents.
