MS - My Documents

I'm copying My Documents from my old XP machine, where do I put them on
Vista. I cannot access My Documents on Vista.

Re: MS - My Documents

Dave,

Place them in 'Documents' not 'My documents' (name change in going to
vista).
i.e. c:\users\your name\Documents folder

You may also want to look at the following website. This will get you up to
speed on the different folders that were used in XP and the new,
corresponding folder, that is used in Vista.
