    What is the equivalent of My Folder with it's subfolders such as My pictures, My documents and MyVideos in Windows 10 I have just moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I am a little confused. I can see 'This PC' has some document and pictures folders, but also there is OS C and this has a User folder under with my name and a public folder - what are these folders for? And where do I store my personal documents/pictures/videos?

    Windows boots, My Documents auto opens. WTF?

    That was going to be my first suggestion. *Toast :toast:

    My Documents Files - Deleted?

    Thanks for the reply though my drive letter is actually F:\ and does not show a Data folder. When I click on the shortcut it takes me straight to my (administrators name)/Documents, so the link is correct. Not sure what happened.

    My Documents Files - Deleted?

    I have a PC where I have moved My Docs away from my C: to my E: so i can perhaps suggest a few things to check.

    1. The documents and settings folder will still be present on your C: (although unused)
    2. My Documents on my E: is shown as E:\Data (do you have a similar directory)
    3. Is your missing data in this \Data folder if it exists?
    4. If you click the My Documents shortcut does it take you to the default C:\doc and settings\blah blah, or does it take you to the \Data folder?

    Ive had a similar issue with an application resetting the My Docs path back to its orig location and in essence orphaning the My Docs on my E:
