Please ensure that Windows can access that folder". Any idea or suggestion? BTW: I can access documents folder from Icon from the desktop of from Windows Explorer. Yours, Wajeeh Bajwa |

| | Re: Windows Visata fax Error: Cannot find Document Folder Yes, I moved my document folder to Drive D:. My experiments and research showed that document folder cannot be a root directory. I had to create a folder on drive D which is now identified as my "document folder' and this program works fine. It is strange that a root folder cannot be used as "Document Folder". I think MS needs to look at this issue and any folder whether or not a root folder should be allowed as document folder.

| | Re: Windows Visata fax Error: Cannot find Document Folder Microsoft has looked at it and the answer has been posted here many times. Do not put your Documents Folder on the root drive. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Wajeeh Bajwa" <Wajeeh Bajwa@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F6A399F7-F70D-4D62-ABED-242BDDCB28A0@xxxxxx Quote: > Yes, I moved my document folder to Drive D:. > > My experiments and research showed that document folder cannot be a root > directory.
