    Moving User folders is a quick way to bugger a Windows install anyways...
    Was it space issues ? ?

    Well, it's easy enough to move the MY DOCUMENTS and similar folders but yeah, if you don't know how it's possible to cause some problems.

      1) I don't know what a "location tab" is
      2) You moved d: drive?

        Okay, gotcha. That's the correct way to do it. For now, have you tried just moving them back to their original locations using the same method? OR you can try system restore.

          I'm just suggesting moving them back for the moment to see if the problem clears. Then we can try to move them one at a time again to see at which point the problem arises.
