Find File Problem

[bigmck]

Hi -- Need a little help here. I have Win 7 and did a search for a PDF file that I made when I had XP. I felt sure I had restored it to Win 7 from my XP files. When I did a search I found the file in C:\Documents and Settings. I couldn't find Documents and Settings and got to thinking that possibly that was a XP folder and Win 7 did not have it. I still have my Windows.Old folder on my C:\. Is Documents and Settings a XP folder and not Win 7 and do you think I am getting the hit for the file because it is still in my WIndows.Old folder? I thought I would ask before I take the time to open up the Windows.Old folder which takes a while.

Thanks,

There is a document and settings folder for both XP and Seven. In my opinion your search can be looking at the documents and settings in windows.old

Accessing Documents and Settings folder in Windows 7

I think you've answered your own question there.

EDIT: Maybe not then, but also think the file will be in your Windows old folder.

Thanks to both of you. I thought I was going wacky there for a while. All though neither of you have confirmed that I am not going whacky.

The results showed you were, so I can't bring myself to lie to you.
