Hi,

Thank you for your time in advance. I'm a Linux noob and I am having one frustrating problem I cant seem to figure out.
I've installed Zorin OS 7 (64 bit) on 2 boxes one Laptop and a desktop pc. This morning I must have dragged/moved the "Downloads" folder to the desktop.
Now on my desktop pc. The "Downloads" in my places menu is missing (the one with the circle and down arrow). Its there on the Laptop. I've figured out
how to do bookmarks but that places just a folder icon named "Downloads" under a bookmark section. I've tried drag and drop -it only will let me put the folder
in another folder in the "Places" list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

open a terminal:

Code:
  sudo gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs


add line:

Code:
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"



then:

Code:
nautilus -q
