[v2.0.2] A_MyDocuments set to blank

Post by Delta Pythagorean » 15 Feb 2023, 08:10

As of currently, the variable A_MyDocuments is giving a blank result.
Also, if it's of any help, I'm running windows 11 with OneDrive "aggressively" uninstalled. I've uninstalled it normally and deleted several folders that OneDrive creates (such as the useless Documents folder).

Here's just a test code:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

MsgBox(A_MyDocuments)
And here's a screenshot of that code:

After review on the AHK discord, I've learned that I did not in fact entirely remove OneDrive from my computer. Within the registry Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders there exists the Personal key-value pair. The value was set to the OneDrive folder, and because that folder did not exist, it was reporting it as blank. So by modifying this key to the default windows folder: %USERPROFILE\Documents I was able to clear this conundrum.
