@hexven_cxn_wxit That's great to hear. If you want to troubleshoot the issue in the main account, there are a few steps that might help, but there's no guarantee. If you want to try anyway, please post the full file path to your Documents folder in the old account. Search in Windows for "command," open Command Prompt, copy and paste the command below, and enter.
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
Then post the result.
@puzzlezaddict I have tried the command you said and it hasn't been able to find anything. Could this be because all of my Sims 3 files are on my Harddrive? It has never caused a problem until now though.
"Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2846]

C:\Users\Adelle>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\Users\Adelle>"
@hexven_cxn_wxit It looks like you deleted the outside quotes and the reg query at the beginning. They're meant to be there.
@puzzlezaddict sorry about that I thought it was only what was in the "" that needed to be input. I have done again and this is what I have got
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2846]

C:\Users\Adelle>reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Personal REG_SZ F:\
C:\Users\Adelle>
@hexven_cxn_wxit The file path is the issue here: it should say this:
C:\Users\Adelle\Documents
Here's how to change it:

If you get an error when trying to change the file path, you can use this method instead:
@puzzlezaddict I used the first link, tried to move my documents folder onto my H drive and now I can no longer find the documents folder that was originally on my C drive and my H drive copied my desktop across even though I said to move the documents folder. The file path is also still coming up as just C:\Users\Adelle
I am not too sure where to go from this,
@hexven_cxn_wxit Please use the second link instead. First, make sure there is in fact a Documents folder in C:\Users\Adelle, then edit the registry to tell Windows that's the correct location. Specifically, set "Personal" (which is for Documents) to %USERPROFILE%\Documents , as the guide shows.
When you're looking at the registry, you'll expand the folders the guide lists in order until you get to the appropriate one. It's much easier when you're actually looking at it, so even if you're not quite sure what to do, open the registry and have a look.
