    Missing Folder On Re-Install ?


    Hello,

    PC crashed, real good, and have had to re-install OS, etc.

    Have everything running, sort of now, but some things have changes apparently with the re-install.

    I used to have a Folder, I'm pretty sure, that was called Documents.
    It was in the chain: C:\Users\Bob\Documents.

    Some software I'm trying to re-install is looking for this Documents Folder to put some items in it.

    How do I resurrect it please, and put it in the proper place in the chain ?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hello Bob,

    It should your My Documents folder in your C:\Users\Bob folder like below.
