I accidentally changed the "pictures" library location to be on SkyDrive. Now I've decided I don't want it there and I'd like to move it back to "C:\Users\(Username)\Pictures" however it says it can't because there's a folder with the same name that can't be redirected. I have a feeling there's a "Pictures" folder that's on SkyDrive that can't be moved and is used as the location for automatically uploading pictures etc. It's not thinking I'm trying to move that folder off of SkyDrive. I don't want to do that. It can stay there. I just want to make it so that the "Pictures" library for my PC isn't "C:\Users\(Username)\SkyDrive\Pictures. The same thing happens to the Documents folder (originally I had stored all my profile folders on SkyDrive before Microsoft decided to make it a lot easier, but it's not letting me undo what I had previously done. Is there a registry key I can modify maybe?


EDIT: To be more specific, the location of "This PC > Pictures" in the SkyDrive app (or in Windows Explorer too I guess) is "C:\Users\(user)\SkyDrive\Pictures". I'd like to remove the "skydrive" portion, but it won't let me. Same with "Documents". Everything else is fine.
