Somehow, the PoolPart folder on one of my pooled drives was renamed "Documents" and it has the icon for, and displays contents per the view of a Windows "Documents" folder. Other than that, the drive is functioning fine, and all files are accessible. My actual Windows "Documents" folder is on an entirely different drive, and fortunately, Windows is not confusing the two "Documents" folders with each other.
I did try to fix this by unhiding protected operating system files in that folder, and looked for a desktop.ini that might be telling Windows to call that folder "Documents" instead of "PoolPart.guid". But there was no desktop.ini file to delete or rename in that folder.
When I pull up the properties on the pooled drive "Documents" folder (the one that should be a PoolPart folder), I can see the long alphanumeric name in the "Type"
- i.e. .b04cc995-92c6-4325-a981-7f9e32866201
Can I just rename that folder "PoolPart.b04cc995-92c6-4325-a981-7f9e32866201"?
