    Have two files being created from all apps


    Have two files being created from all apps using Win 10. That is, when I save a file it goes two places.



    I have two SSDs on my machine. which has Win 10 (updated from 8). Drive C: has the OS on it. Drive E: is the old one that used to have the OS on it.

    Example:


    Save photo as Jim 2016.jpg – it then shows up in two places:
    E:\Users\Jim H\Documents\Pictures
    E:\Documents and Settings\Jim H\Documents\Pictures



    Note: There are two copies of NTUser.dat on each drive.

    :)

  2. Have multiple files created from all apps - Win 10

    Note I have two drives.

    I setup Win10 buy upgrading from Win8. Don't recall anything special.

    No special setup for the drives. I believe I put the second drive in before I moved to Win10, but not positive.

    My plan was for data files on the old drive - which is a Seagate Hybrid - and all EXEs on the new fast SSD (SanDisk). But there are still many executables on the old E: drive.

    THANKS JOHN

    Jim

    Hi,

    Possible reason why you are experiencing this issue is with the way you set up your SSD drive. For us to know more, please answer the following:

    • How did you set up your partitions for your SSD drives?
    • How did you install your operating system?
