If you are looking for what used to be "My Documents", it's under C:\Users\your_user_name\Documents Quote
Guest Richard G. Harper Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 You cannot, as it is no longer an actual directory but a "junction point" provided for compatibility issues. Documents are now in the "Users" folder instead. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@gmail.com NEW!

To get at your temp inet files at any location, you need to disable UAC. One reason I did it and kept with it being disabled. <span style="color:blue"> >"Richard G.
