A bit weird, I ran into this situation earlier today, I needed to change the thousand grouping symbol from " "   to  "  ,  " but could not find the right section to change from, oddly the option to change this symbol was not in the application preference. After some fiddling around, finally got it to change. The solution was to change it from System Preference as shown below.


If you are presently receiving this error, on your windows pc or Surface Pro book; fret not the fix is really simple and direct. The error reads:

" ... is unavailable, if the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted and then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted".


This can occur after you accidentally delete your previous Desktop location may be on your PC or one drive, or some effect of misconfiguration, virus or many other reasons. The simple fix is:


Solution:

1. Go to "This PC" or "My Computer" through start or pressing Window Key + E.
2. On the right / top section of the screen, look for Desktop and right-click it; then click on "Properties".
3. On the properties page, look for the "Location" tab.
4. In the "Location" the location tab, click on Restore default.

This can also affect Documents and other system drives, the fix is same for all.

Enjoy.


With the anniversary update last week, Windows 10 finally officially allows for a dark mode in Theme. With the dark mode, you no longer have to glare at the eye-piercing light/white background, especially when working or programming with lights off.
