I set my Windows 7 desktop to black, and the file and folder icons are on top of that.
For about 6 months I had the desktop set to my external drive, which is not a great move, because it's SLOW.
And, there were hundreds of folders & icons, so the desktop was this big crowded mess of folders & icons.
So now I fixed it, so the Desktop is mapped to an internal hard drive, a 1 Terabyte Samsung.
But ......................
The desktop appearance hasn't changed.
The 1 Terabyte Samsung is all folders, no files.
But the desktop appearance is the same super-crowded "F" (external) drive that it was before.
How do I get the Desktop to show the icons on the drive it's mapped to ?
Anyway, will do Help search for Map Desktop & see what happens.
The computer has 2x 256 MB solid state drives. Originally the OS went on one and the desktop was mapped to the other.
PS Fixed it.
