Side effect

  • some characters are displayed incorrectly:
    • ^0 = & (Country ^0 Folk.m3u)
    • ^1 = % (e.g. Vol. 1 100^1 Acid Jazz^J Vol. 1)
    • ^J = , (e.g. 100^1 Acid Jazz^J Vol. 1)
  • you can try to correct them, but you'll see they re-appear in the same way

Suspend / Resume OneDrive

OneDrive can be very expensive on bandwidth, so it's good to suspend it when you'll watch movies online.

Using the PsSuspend PsTool

Download & unpack the !PsTools.

Then simply issue pssuspend and the process is suspended. For OneDrive, the process name is onedrive (sometimes, life can be simple).
C:\Users>e:\tools\pstools\pssuspend onedrive
PsSuspend v1.07 - Process Suspender

Process onedrive suspended.

Resuming is done by simply adding the -r switch:
C:\Users>e:\tools\pstools\pssuspend -r onedrive

PsSuspend v1.07 - Process Suspender
Copyright (C) 2001-2016 Mark Russinovich

Process onedrive resumed.

Toggle command to suspend/resume OneDrive

C:\tools\PsTools\PsList -d onedrive|find/i "suspend" && C:\tools\PsTools\PsSuspend -r onedrive || C:\tools\PsTools\PsSuspend onedrive

Using the /shutdown switch of the OneDrive executable

C:\Users>%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe /shutdown

And you launch your MsOneDrive sync again by simply calling the OneDrive executable without switches:
C:\Users>%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe

Reset OneDrive

Issue the following command:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

Correct OneDrive statuses

What I mean, is: white circles with green check => green circles with white check:
  • move items that refuse the 'always keep on this device' setting to a non OneDrive location, wait for OneDrive to be in sync again, then move the items back
  • look for empty folders and remove them

Documents displayed as OneDrive

When you link Documents to OneDrive, Documents is renamed as OneDrive. If you want it to display as Documents, please do the following:

Save and close the file, and restart!

Documents folder in various languages in OneDrive

It gives the impression to be hacked, but even after changing my password, a Documents folder reappears, but it can be in any language: Russian, Spanish, Turkish, German, English:
