I upgraded machine from Win98se to WinXP. Went fairly
smoothly except that I cannot find my old "My Documents"
directory. Any ideas????

Hi,

Check under C:\Documents and settings\<username>, it may be under an old
profile. I've seen a number of cases where the old "My Documents" folder was
erased during the upgrade and replaced by the new one. This is why backing
up your files before upgrading is so important.
