For user Doug, Windows 10's File Explorer shows a Users\Doug\Music
folder, as expected. However, dir /a
(run as administrator) does not show this folder. How can this be?
My motivation is that Users\Doug\Music
is the default location for iTunes data files, but on Doug's machine, iTunes is using Users\Doug\Pictures\Music
. Both File Explorer and dir
show that folder. However, File Explorer's Properties dialog shows the same location for both: Users\Doug\Pictures
. I think it's strange for Music
to be under Pictures
, so I'd like to move Users\Doug\Pictures\Music
to Users\Doug\Music
, but before I try anything like that, I'd like to understand why File Explorer shows the existence of Users\Doug\Music
, but dir /a
does not.
Users\Doug\Music
if you check the Location tab, where is that pointing?Users\Doug\Music
shows a Location ofUsers\Doug\Pictures
.
