I save pictures from Facebook and X from mostly relatives. Right click>Save Image as. It defaults to "C:\Users\bradb\OneDrive\Desktop" no matter what I set as folder in Settings>Files and Applications. I don't use OneDrive and removed the App. That caused my desktop to have only one icon, the Recycle Bin. I cancelled sync. How do I get the default to be "C:\Users\bradb\Desktop".

    I really don't want to open File Explorer and work my way down to the OneDrive desktop folder every time to move the pictures to the proper storage folder on my NAS.

    I think a Windows update started this.
