Desktop location in Quick Access

[thimon]

Hi guys,

 

One of the last few annoying things to fix in Windows 10 is that the Desktop shortcut under Quick Access in File Explorer points to C:\Users\Default\Desktop when a user signs in instead of their usershare desktop location. I've searched and searched in our GPO's and cannot find a setting for this.

 

Please help!

Did anyone ever figure this out?

Check both these locations and see if you can set it manually for the Desktop

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

 

I, personally, remove Quick Access.

Hello Chuckster,

 

Thank you for the reply. I have also removed Quick Access via GPO registry update, but I would love to know what could have caused the quick access desktop link to point to the default desktop. I know that, when the build was pushed out to my users, the link worked perfectly fine.
