@ffiila  Yes, I'm still around.  Please let me know what step you're trying to complete here, and if you're using Command Prompt, post a screenshot of the window showing the command and the error.

    Good Afternoon! I am trying to move my sims save file, I have Windows 11 and when i right click the Users folder and click properties the location tab is not there.  how do i make it appear or how do I move the users folder with Windows 11? - The Tabs that show under properties are General (no options to do anything), Sharing, Security, Previous Versions, Customize (Lets me change the type of folder, the icon and if i want the folder to have pictures on the icon.)

    Thank you in advance!!!

      @2Crazypeople  First, let's figure out where your Documents directory is.  Your computer will have several Documents folders, but the important detail is the Documents directory, as Windows has designated it.  Search in Windows for Command Prompt, open it, and enter this command:

      reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"

      Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and open the corresponding path, starting with the C drive if that's where Documents is.  When you get to Documents, right-click there and see whether you can move it.  If not, there are other approaches, but please first let me know whether you're trying to move Documents to an external drive.

        Thank you for the quick response. I have 3 hard-drives in my Computer, C which is my OS and the current location of the Documents file housing the Sims game Saves/Mods. D which is my largest slowest drive for all my documents and music. and F which is my solid state Video Game File. I have all my games on F. I was hoping to move the User File or Documents File from C which is extremely full to F the Video Game harddrive.

        The Command Prompt you gave me confirmed the location::  C:\Users\psych\OneDrive\Documents.
