After typing in the second command, command prop says The system cannot find the path specified.
@Majale2006 Sorry, I meant please post the results of this command:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal
Please also post the actual symlink command you're using when you get the cannot find the file path error.
that is the command i am talking about. command prop says The system cannot find the path specified. and I have no clue what a symlink command is.
@Majale2006 Please find the file path in your computer's registry and list it for me. Hit Windows key-R and enter "regedit" without quotes, then open these sections in succession:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Find the Personal entry, and list the file path on the right. It should look something like one of these:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents
C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Documents
Ive found all the stuff that youve listed, and in the end it said %USERPROFILE%\Documents
What can i do now?
@Majale2006 Okay, that's good, it means OneDrive hasn't co-opted your Documents folder. So, for the command to create the symbolic link, you'll write this:
MKLINK /J “C:\Users\username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\The Sims 4”
Except you'll write your actual username instead of username in the command. And make sure there is no "The Sims 4" folder inside the Electronic Arts folder, or if there is, move or rename it.
