As stated - right clicked music folder - location - move - chose D drive

Now it has renamed music folder to D:\ (essentially renamed the entire D drive to be the Music folder) and put all the contents of D drive INSIDE the music folder (like seriously who designed this procedure over at Windows?)

And now, when I chose to "Restore Default" it says "Failed to build the list of regular sub-directories under "D:\System Volume Information". Access Denied"
 
Well, with some playing around I managed to move the "music" folder (without any contents) back to C, then create a folder called "Music" in the D drive (this step is really archaic and should NOT be necessary in 2025 after so many annoying endless Windows updates) and THEN change the location from C to the new music folder I created in D. OK - but now that special folder is still named "D:\" under the "quick access" side menu.

Seriously, what a complete mess.... sort it out Windows.
