By the way, I say the application is poorly written because the correct way would be to access the Documents folder using the environment variable %UserProfile%\Documents, which would then direct the application to the location you had set for Documents, assuming you had done that move correctly.

Thanks for that. I am sure that it was something like this rather than the user folder being "improperly moved". I had after all, 'properly moved' many of the others without this issue.
I wonder which app install did that...
To be more precise the whole Windows 7 virtual folder structure is pretty complicated. Hence the need for these tutorial to accomplish what was relatively simple, if different, in XP.
I actually followed the tutorial from this site when I first did this so I am pretty certain I didn't "improperly move" anything, complicated or not.
If you right click on the extra Documents folder and go to Properties, it may show a creation date that could give you a clue what installation was at fault.
Damn it's gone now 'cos the advise here for restoring default and starting again has worked a treat. Thanks everybody.
