My Document Files
Posted by gramma on October 9th, 2005


XP Home Edition, Sp2:

Desktop: Docs & Settings>Owner>My documents...lists 23 folders of files.

Below in Owner>App Data>My Documents... also lists the same 23 folder of
files.

I think some dummy made a mistake at one time by adding "My Docs" w/o
noticing it was set as default. So....which of the above should I delete so
that I have only one set of 23 folders of files?

Gramma, delete the one in Owner>AppData. Delete the MyDocuments Folder
if you can. Make sure it's the same files in
the 23 folders. Just open one or two folders and make a comparison.

Gramma: My advice...Don't delete unless you know what you are
doing...or you will be sorry. There is probably only one 'My
documents' for the owner but 2 listings. Happens all the time.
