icons disappeared due to OneDrive (solved)

August 23, 2022 12:20 AM from

I installed/uninstalled/installed OneDrive, and the icons on my desktop Fences disappeared.

Win 11. Fences 4.0.7.2.

OneDrive moved all the desktop icons from Users\username\Desktop to Users\username\OneDrive\Desktop.

The Fences snapshot xml also had the location as Users\username\OneDrive\Desktop but did not display the icons.

Solution:
I moved the shortcuts to Users\username\Desktop and edited the snapshot xml to be all Users\username\Desktop\...

Fences looks good now, icons returned.
