Make a Shortcut to C:Users Instead of a Shortcut to System Folder

Whenever i make a shortcut to "C:Users" or "Pin to Quick access", Windows automatically turns it into a System folder. I don't want to have the shortcut go to the system folder. I want to have it point to the folder "C:Users".



The reason for that, is that I have different view settings for the two, which means that the system folder is missing a few vital folders, which "C:Users" folder doesn't.



This is what I don't want to have a shortcut to:



This is what I ***don't want*** to have a shortcut to



This is what I would like to have a shortcut to:



This is what I ***would like*** to have a shortcut to



(In case I didn't make myself clear, then this question here is the exact opposite of what I need.)



Cheers

  • @Tetsujin The problem with the %userprofile% is that it uses the system folder. My problem is that the system user folder doesn't show all the folders actually in my "C:Users" folder, for example, the pictures folder and documents folder aren't in the system folder.

  • @Tetsujin Mine doesn't since I have made some changes to the Registry for "ThisPCPolicy" and set it to "Hide", that way, when I open File Explorer and go to This PC, all the garbage folders don't show up, only the drives. I followed this guide: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/remove-the-folders-from-this-pc-windows-10.

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
