I don't know how you moved the Documents folder (or if you also moved something else), or what the status bar shortcut pointed at (i.e. it could have been created/modified by the user), but as far as I know the default File Explorer shortcut on the status bar in Windows 10 is located in:jmt356 wrote:There was, however, one issue with moving the Documents folder. After moving it, I launched File Explorer by pressing Windows key + 4. I then received an error stating that the shortcut no longer existed, since the location of the target folder had been moved from the C drive.
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
and it is the same as using Winkey+E. The default location, when Explorer is started (in Windows 10), is Quick access.
Moving the Documents folder, and its content, with the built-in method shouldn't break a standard shortcut to the File Explorer located in the user's profile.
The easiest way to create a shortcut to the File Explorer (when there is no such shortcut on the Task bar), if not something is terribly broken, should probably be to press Winkey+E, and when the File Explorer is running, to simply right-click on the icon in the Task bar and select Pin to Task bar.
(It is also possible to create a shortcut on the Desktop (via the right-click menu), and drill down to the Windows folder (via browse for target), and then select Explorer.exe. If you can't drag such as a shortcut to the Taskbar it could be because you already have one shortcut.)
(For a "custom-made" shortcut I agree with Hans.)
