    I followed a Flawed set of instruction to move my libraries from the C: drive to a E: HDD and ended up with ALL libraries into ALL libraries and now the HDD is listed BELOW ALL the Libraries (Data, Music, Pictures, and Videos (As shown in the attachment). Is the any way to unwind this FUBAR?

    I can probably delete ALL of it and start from a backup, however, while using the "Move" command under properties, I saw screens that said, once I "moved" the libraries, I could not undo them.

    SO, is there a way to recreate them (Correctly) without having to "re-load" my OS?

    I wouldn't be too concerned at the appearance of your libraries list just at present as it is only a collection of shortcuts, not the folders themselves. To help you to sort this out we need to understand better just what it is you were trying to achieve and what it is you have moved.

    It does sound as if you have moved your Documents, Music, Pictures and so on folders from C: to E: Just open Computer, click on E: and see what folders are there. If that is what you have done, and if that is what you were wanting to do, then it will be a simple matter to get your libraries reorganised so that they look right. If that was not your intention can you try again to explain what it is you want to do.

    BTW, if you ever upgrade to Win 8.1 your problem will resolve itself as there aren't any libraries in this latest version.

    Yes I was trying to move "My Documents" from a small SSD to an HDD. Since I failed miserably at doing correctly. I delete all the documents at the HDD location, including the Desktop folder and when I went back to C: the Library seemed to be there but it had lost all its attributes. Long story short, I tried reloading the OS. I left it alone doing its thing while I took a break, when I got back the screen monitor screen was black and could not be awaken even with several reboots. I cleared the CMOS and it is still black. I am running out of ideas. The screen seems to be in an energy saving mode forever. ANy way to wake this thing up from that?

    Are you saying that absolutely nothing happens on the screen during bootup? Unless the monitor has somehow got switched off that has to be a hardware failure.

    I plugged the monitor into a second graphic card and it lit up with the start up screen asking for a reply. After that it went normal for the reload. Weird thing is, I plugged a second monitor to the first card after everything was reloaded and the original card lit up the second monitor normal as well. So, I am left with the mystery of the monitor/card that was black (power light was on but the monitor was black). It's windows man, full of mysteries. This problem is solved. Sorry to inconvenience the group.
