Re: Where are these folders?

It is as you say. However, why did Microsoft do it that way? What is the logic?

John's Documents is just a mirror of your My Documents folder in:

C:\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents

This is normal.  Shared Documents is a mirror of:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\My Documents

Please educate me:  I use  Windows XP SP2.

When I open Windows Explorer, (after minimizing Drive "C")
all drives, the control panel, and two "Document" folders are under
"My Computer".
Then under "Desktop" there are also "My Documents", "My Network Places" and
"Recycle Bin".

If these items are not under any one of the drives, where re they actually
located?

If you want to see what I mean, look at http://www.nusselder.ca/WinExpl.jpg
I thought that everything (other than the BIOS) was stored on one of the drives.

Thanks!
