I am stuck on the locations tab in Desktop properties. I could not find the location tab.
When I try the first solution, it turns out I cannot open config folder. In a folder of my profile Desktop folder is completely fine with all the data inside. However, there is no location tab in properties. I have widows 8.1 64bit
When I try to access configsystemprofile it says that the path is invalid
Sorry for any mistakes, I hope the description is clear enough.

Hello! Thanks for share!
Here is Guido, from Brazil.
At first i had the same issue, but I made a new windows installation keeping the old files. But, the user name that windows created was the same.
Can I just reset the whole things? Seems easier
New methods have been added recently try them out first. Also, if the new method doesn’t work, try to reset the PC to an earlier date.
Some new methods were added to accommodate more solutions, check them out and see if they help.

Those may be references only, the actual folders appears to have been lost.
It is only 2 specific folders that this says “location unavailable”. Everything else is there after the update…
Can you type me the exact quickbook error? I need to read it to understand the issue.
I’m running two programs. Quickbooks is one and it comes on with a C++ runtime error. The other is an obscure program for my business and it just crashes with no error message other than the “windows is searching for a solution” screen. I did CCleaner and that was successful. I did a virus scan and that came up with a lot of error messages about different system files couldn’t be opened. They were the hiberfil.sys, pagefile.sys, and swap something.
