Windows XP...

When you setup Win XP... you seem to get two documents folders for each
user... One in the users profile and one on the root drive... does this mean
your documents could me store in two places?

Not sure what you're looking at. A user has one My Documents folder, and
it's normally in c:\documents and settings\username\my documents. IF you're
looking in Windows Explorer, what you're seeing at the very top is the
contents of the desktop - which contains a special icon for My Documents.
However, it's more of a shortcut than a folder.

No. My Documents is the same as \Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\My
Documents
