    Lost "My Documents" folder when trying to move it to (D:) partition.


    Hello,
    My documents turned into local disk (D:) when trying to relocate "My Docs" to my second partition. Under the location tab I did not rename the folder and just left D:\. Now local disk (D:) has seemed to replace "My Docs" folder. Please help me put "My Docs" back on (C:).
    OS WIN 7
    Thank you.
