My wife asked me to look at her system because of a problem she was having in file explorer. She has a rather large music collection, and she was trying to consolidate some of the folders. As an example one folder is named AC/DC, and another is named AC-DC. She wants to take albums or songs from the AC-DC folder and move them to the AC/DC folder.
The system has three partitions on the HDD, C, D, and E. All of the music files are located on the E drive. The main parent folder is called My Music, and the folders below that are usually the band name. She opens the folder and selects the files she wants to move, then clicks on "Move to". When the move items box opens so she can select the folder she wants to move the files to, instead of showing let's say 50 different folders it only shows two folders. I tried rebooting the system, but had the same problem. I looked through her installed updates but did not see any that could cause this problem.
If I search on the other partitions (C and D) after clicking on Move to I see every folder on those partitions. I have checked the permissions, and do not see anything that would cause this issue.
Any idea what could be causing this problem?
