Hello, could someone help with this strange Windows behavior?
When opening with Windows Explorer, My Documents folders and files are
duplicated thus:
I have "My Documents" and a long list of folders and files
in words only at the left side, and also in words only at the right side .
Then I also have under "My Computer", farther down this list: "Adela's
Documents", with the same
folders and files in words only at the left side, and with icons at the
right side. I haven't a clue as to HOW the dups formed. Is it the
Windows system???
Whoever set up my computer, made me TWO lists of
the same... Anyone knows why?
When I open My Documents with my word processor, instead of Windows
Explorer, it
doesn't show My Computer and so there aren't duplicates. Strange...
I wanted to delete the 2nd set of dups, but my fear is that, unknowingly, I
worked sometimes with one duplicate and sometimes with another and so they'd
have dfferent contents. How could I check this before deleting?
And...would it be ok to delete them???
I anticipate my thanks to help me clear and fix this weird thing? )
