Files in My Documents

[Tatar]

My Documents is moved to Drive D:

Drive D also has a number of other folders. Since I backed up my computer
from an external HDD I get all the files in D: shown in My Documents and
vice versa. If I delete one I delete copies from both locations. If I add a
new file into any one of D: or My Document it is also shown in the other.
What can I do?

If you check the Properties of My Documents located at your Desktop you may
find that Target box have the same location (d:\). So it clarifies that the
My Documents you are looking at your desktop is a shortcut of the original
one (d:\). So, if you Move, Copy or Delete a file then it will apply to
both.

You can Restore it to default location by clicking Restore Default button in
My Documents Properties box.

Hope this help, let us know!
