Why can't I use some of the folders on my computer?

[Guest]

I'm an administrator on my Vista Home Premium machine. I cannot add a
shortcut to Notepad in the Send To folder or add any documents to the My
Documents folder. If it's My Documents, why can't I add any of my documents?

Hi,

"My Documents" is not a folder, it's a placeholder to redirect older
applications that are hard-coded to use it. The current default is now
simply C:\User\<username>\documents (no "My").

Similarly, the SendTo folder has moved, you will find it here:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
