My Documents

[Judy Bednar]

Just started using XP Pro. I am the default and/or *only* user. Why do I
have FOUR "My Documents"?

There is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\My Documents
C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\My Documents
C:\My Documents
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\My Documents

Not to mention the other four shortcuts (recent, send to, etc)

I find all this terribly confusing, keep saving things in a different "my
Documents" Can I delete some of these?

Cheers,

Do not use or remove the C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\My
Documents. Used as a template.
Do not use or remove the C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\My
Documents

The C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\My Documents is the one you should be
using.

The C:\My Documents may be the alternate location but in order to find out
which one is the default location, right click on the Icon on your desktop
called My Documents and select properties. It will show you the default
location.
