When I go into Libraries/Documents it shows that 2 locations are included. They are
c:\users\owner\documents
c:\users\public\documents
When I click on C: drive and then "users" and then "public" there is no folder called "documents". Why is this happening?
The things we learn from Unix.
Go to an elevated command prompt.
Change directory to C:\users\public
Type the following at the elevated command prompt:
attrib -h -s documents
That should do it.
Thanks, it's actually a slightly different question but I understand your answer would be the same.
When I issue "dir" in c:\users\public the contents do not match what I see in Explorer.
For example, in c:\users\public there is a "documents" directory in the "dir" output.
In c:\user\public in Explorer there is something called "public documents".
Why is this happening? Please.
There's no need to issue this attributes command. The "documents" directory appears in the command prompt but not in the Explorer window. This is bizarre.

From the command prompt can you change into the "documents" folder? I understand now about viewing from Explorer, but want to see if this directory can be entered.
Yes, of course. "cd documents" works.
I can navigate with the command prompt. I can also navigate with Explorer. The difference is the names of the folders.
In Explorer the name might be "My documents" and in the command prompt "documents". Why is this happening?
BTW: I have posted my hardware setup.
