  1. File explorer sign in change error


    If Just started my computer and for some reason in file explorer in the top right hand corner it's asking to sign in. When I click to sign in it asking for the password with the account defaulting for some reason to my daughter's gmail address and its not giving me the option to change to sign in with another account i.e. mine. I have signed in to microsoft on the computer again and things like Office are running under my account so what's happened and how do I sign in to file explorer under my name.

    :)

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?
