    Where are all my files?


    I recently moved all my files from a public user to my administrator user on my toshiba laptop. Now I can't find those files. If I search for a file I know is there, it finds it, and I can open it from the search window, but if I try to browse my files in Windows Explorer, I cannot find the directory. I am logged on as administrator.
    What gives? Can anyone please help me sort this out?

    Search for the file in question, then right-click > Open file location.

    Thanks LogicEarth


    There are several "My Documents" directories, and I found that all my files are in the directory available under my user name in "Homegroup". It just gets more complicated.
