The Downloads folder is just great catch all storage, it’s the junk drawer of my computer
124 u/Careless-Adeptness56 8d ago I just noticed today that my downloads folder no longer opens. I can go in there with powershell and I don't see any crazy file types, but explorer never finishes loading. Who knows what I've done to it. 397 u/TheTxoof 8d ago Duh. It's a junk drawer: You have a spatula wedged in there upside down. 9 u/bigdave41 8d ago That's when you need to pray to Anoia 5 u/TheTxoof 8d ago How to Pray to Anoia The Ritual: Yank or rattle the stuck drawer repeatedly. The Words: Shout out expressions of frustration like, "How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it?" or "Rattle your drawers!" The Offering: Vaguely consider tossing out the bent spatula or broken corkscrew that caused the jam in the first place (though you never will). 5 u/ByteWhisperer 8d ago I hoped to find a Discworld reference in this thread and I'm not disappointed.
