I don't know what i did wrong.
I followed a guide to redirect my libraries to my 2nd Hard drive (for storage room)

Somehow i redirected something wrong.
Now, whenever i create anything on my D: drive (second HDD)
It also appears on my desktop.

How do i stop that? :(

Example, I made a "new folder (2)" on my Local Disk (d:)
screen shot shows it auto populate on desktop::

It looks like you set d : as your desktop

Make a folder under d : called Desktop and use that for your desktop location.

If you right click d : and select properties, see if you have a Location tab. If you do, select d : \ desktop

If you still want links to the folders, just create shortcuts on the now empty desktop.

Go one step back and check the location the desktop is pointing to. It may be it's pointed to D: rather than D:\Desktop, so it picks up everything. If that is the case, create a folder on D called Desktop and change the location to that folder. Select the option not to move files from the old location.
