I've done goof'd - How do I reset the 'This PC' sub folders to default? (win 10)

SGM

So my primary storage hard drive died yesterday (no backup but the files weren't mission critical, I can live without them). I kept my pictures, documents and downloads on the primary drive (D:) and I was trying to setup a new location on my secondary hard drive (E:) and have the folders under 'This PC' point to folders on that drive. The music and videos folder were already on the secondary hard drive so they're fine.

I have no idea what I've done but now all 3 folders are named 'Documents' and all point to the same location. 

How do I fix this? Restoring them to the default location (C:) does nothing.

The only time incorrectly is spelled incorrectly is when it is spelled incorrectly.
