While moving some user folders from one harddrive back to the "default" location, I accidentally set the "My Videos" folder to be c:\Users[userprofile]
I managed to fix the Registry to rename the "My Video" key to c:\Users[userprofile]\My Videos, however the Userprofile folder itself in C:\Users still shows up in Explorer as "My Videos". I can't rename it in the folder properties (it is greyed out).
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Right-click the My Videos folder, go to the Location tab, click on Restore Default, Ok your way out and reboot. That ought to fix the confusion.

So, I have already done that with the actual My Videos folder. It now appears as it should under the %USERPROFILE% folder.
My issue is that the &USERPROFILE% folder remains named My Videos in Explorer. – Cuitarded – 2015-04-12T02:36:59.387
Can you turn on the display of all hidden and protected OS files (Tools / Folder options / View tab) and check if there's a desktop.ini in the %UserProfile% folder? Delete that (or move it out from there), reboot and see if the issue's fixed. – Karan – 2015-04-12T04:29:17.810
Just happened to me today, too, with the "Saved Pictures" folder. I was already starting to think I was the only one this ever happened to... :) – Michael Klement – 2016-08-27T08:43:33.030
