I understand System Restore will not restore/protect files in My Documents,
such as doc. files, meaning that on a restore such files will not be
affected and I need not worry. My actual worry is to know which of the 3 My
Documents folders I have in Explorer System Restore does not restore. These
three are clones of each other in that they contain exactly the same
folders. Going down from Desktop, The first is Desktop\My Computer\Local
Disk\Documents and Settings\my name\My Documents - the second is Desktop\My
Computer\my name (is called my name and not My Documents, but has the same
contents as the two so-called My Documents, so I refer to it here as the
second My Documents) - the third is Desktop\My Documents. So which of these
does System Restore ignore?
BTW, why does Explorer maintain three versions of these? Which is the one
ordinary users like me should look out for as the 'controlling' My
Documents, as it were? I have always wondered about these particular
questions.
