Installed old drive in new pc. Where are folders I placed on my desktop? - GoFuckYourself.com

bausch · 01-13-2013, 10:22 PM

I had some important folders on my desktop that I did not store in the c folder. Now when I hooked up my old drive to new pc I can't see folders I made on my old desktop. How do I access these?

Have you tried rebooting?

If that doesn't fix the issue, try unplugging your modem and then plugging it back in sir.

what is the folders directory ? which drive or folders ？

Frank21 · 01-13-2013, 10:59 PM

Depends on the OS ofcourse.
If it was an old version of windows its probably in C:\Documents and settings\Username
If it was a newer version of windows then in C:\Users\Username

Frank21 · 01-13-2013, 11:00 PM

Change C: with the Letter of the drive of the old drive ofcourse.

Funny, i was recently thinking what the username of that weird chick was who used to post here and here you are

Dirty F · 01-13-2013, 11:05 PM

Do you still have all these issues?

bausch · 01-13-2013, 11:09 PM

I was able to find it... it was in users... i couldnt access it before; it just kept loading but it finally opened. im on a new pc with windows 8; i hate it so far.

What kind of issues did i have before Frank?

Dirty F · 01-13-2013, 11:12 PM

I can't remember exactly. It was you right who never left the house because you can't be around other people?

I'm still anti social and don't like them but i have to interact with them all the time. I had to get a real life job and worked at an agency doing seo for over a year (had to sit around people all day long)... Plus i am pursuing acting now in L.A and taking classes (with real people and all, i actually have to perform in front of my classmates) so doing just fine. I leave my house daily, no other choice really.

Hm good for you. But boring to read

Your posts were funny. Sorry.

Dirty F · 01-13-2013, 11:43 PM

I think it's weird btw how someone who works with computers so much doesn't know where the desktop folder is located hehe.

It was on another drive though.

Where are my firefox profiles located on my other drive? F drive, not the C drive in my pc...

Its not %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles because that brings up current profiles... i need the ones on my other hd where i also have FF installed...

Does anyone know?
