Both folders currently contain identical items, but it would be a good idea
to check which folder your system is using. Start Word, type a few lines in
a new document, click File/Save As, click My Documents on the Places bar,
save the file, and then check the two folders again to be certain the file
is saved to the Documents and Settings subfolder rather than the subfolder
directly off the C: drive.
