  1. Storing my documents


    When I begin the day all files and folders are in This PC and Quick Access. After working on an open file and selecting "SaveAs", the list comes up to This PC and some folders are missing. They all can be found at C;\Users\jmgre\Documents. In checking properties of documents on This PC the location is set to C:\Users\jmgre\Documents. How do I change it to save all to This PC - always. I don't know how this happened. I believe it happened when I got a new PC and changed everything over, but don't know what I did wrong.


    Thank you.

    :)

  3. Multiple 'Documents' folders under 'This PC'

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    This may happen if one the “documents” folder has been stored on different target location.

    Follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1

    I suggest that you check both the folders location where they are saved using the below method:


    • Right-click on any one documents folder and then click Properties.

    • Click the Location tab, click Restore Default, and then click Apply and OK.

    • Check what happens, try these step on all the documents folder.
    Method 2

    If the above step fails then try checking the target location of both the folders by using the find target option:


    • Right-click on any one documents folder and then click Properties.

    • Click the Location tab, click Find target.

    • Check where the target location of both the folders is and check if any one goes to the user name location and later delete the one which goes to wrong location.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

  4. Storing my documents

    Lost documents after Windows update.

    Here are two suggestions:

    • Have a look in the folder C:\Windows.old\Users\MjKoval\Documents.
    Implement a robust backup scheme. If you have very important documents then they must be stored on two independent media.
    Do not wait until they are lost.
