My documents are all in a partition (labelled) "Terry" reserved for, well, my documents.
They're in a folder called "My Documents".
But in My Computer there is a "Terry" item too. Which relates to my log-in and is in the users folder of C:
And that one also contains a "My Documents" folder.
(My wife's log-in on our computer has the equivalent.)
I don't mind that, usually.
But it causes terrible confusion in programmes that decide to default to the c:\users\terry\my documents because files sometimes get saved there instead of on our partitions, without us realising.
Is there any way to eradicate the c:\users\...\My Documents folders?
(BTW, I also think that the person who designed that set up, with documents buried several levels down among the settings and then addressed by a virtual folder, ought to have been hunted down by wolves. But that's another matter.)
