  Happy New Year Jean,
  
  I just installed the latest beta version and I have a couple of pop-up errors concerning the "Special Folders". Particularly, I notice that it tries to open Desktop and Pictures and it displays an error window that says it can't open those folders, I notice that the folders that it trying to reference are on my OneDrive..
  
  I am using DOPUS and the other "Special Folders" seem to work as expected.
  
  Regards
  
  Rennie

  (This issue was reported by Rennie in the "Beta users" section of the forum and moved here because it was not specific to the beta release)
  
  I had an email exchange with Rennie to clarify the situation. In summary, some Special folders favorites in his menu were broken after the Windows user name (used in some special folders names like "C:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop") was changed when updating Windows.
  
  Rennie fixed it by deleting the broken favorites and re-adding them to his menu. This is what had to be done. QAP does detect a Windows name change. Fortunately, this type of situation is rare. Normally, when updating Windows, the user name is not changed.
