ONEDRIVE IS A VIRUS - How do I restore my Document, Pictures, etc to defaults?

[GGG444]

I installed OneDrive and it moved my pictures and documents. In my estimate, this is likely the most obscene action by Microsoft that has caused me trouble just trying to use my 6 windows 10 pcs!


MICROSOFT'S CHOICE TO CHANGE DEFAULTS AND NOT ALLOW A COMPLETE RESTORE TO DEFAULT VALUES BORDERS ON CRIMINAL ACTION, MUCH LIKE A VIRUS OR OTHER HIJACK APPLICATION DOES.


PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CREATE AND POST A UTILITY THAT WILL COMPLETELY RESTORE ALL REGISTRY CHANGES TO DEFAULT SETTINGS THAT WERE HIJACKED BY ONEDRIVE IN WINDOWS 10.

• The uninstall should do all the work so I don't want to hear about what I should do.
• There is NOT ANY INDICATION THIS would be done. That is what a VIRUS or HIJACKED app does.
• This changes settings in applications installed AFTER the HIJACK by OneDrive.
• This does NOT change ALL applications locations so now I have to look in multiple locations for documents and pictures for each application.
• This stops my backups of pictures and documents from working.

What have I done to remedy?


1) uninstall OneDrive (doesn't fix folder location changes)

2) Use Windows 'location' change but it fails (see image below)

3) Search registry for locations for pictures and documents and restore them to defaults (you completely hacked the registry and changes do not work since you must have active applications preventing the changes)
