Hmm that's weird, never had problems with mine changing... I prefer where to put them myself also so I don't waste time looking for them.

Ahh I see, I'm on 1804 currently, luckily I wasn't affected by it then I guess. But I also use some software called ultimate windiows tweaker to save me time from having to make some changes in registry and such. Might be worth a shot, just make sure to make a restore point in case you want to roll it back.
