    Documents--What the Heck?


    What in the name of heaven is going on? I now have Windows 11, and very sorry to have it, as it's just awful.WHERE THE HELL ARE MY DOCUMENTS PUT? It is beyond nuts. Windows 11 gives me a file folder that is like a piece of paper with lines--it says "Documents." But what's in it? Files that say Dell, Legacy Family Tree, and Microsoft Hardware. What in the heck?Meanwhile, my actual Documents file is somewhere else entirely, and I have to click a million things to get to it: This PC, Users, My Name, Documents. What the heck?Thank you for your help.

    :)
