Not to be confused with Documents,
My Documents is a Microsoft
Windows
folder that stores documents, program settings, and other files
that are used with many of the programs run on your computer. For
example, when saving a file in Microsoft Word the default folder
will often be My Documents. Saving all your personal files into the
My Documents folder makes backing up and locating your personal
files easier. Many Microsoft Windows users should be able to
locate the My Documents folder through their
Desktop. However, for those users who
do not have a My Documents icon on their desktop they can find the
My Documents folder by following the below steps.
- From the Desktop
double-click the My Documents folder.
or
- Open My Computer.
- Within My Computer double-click the xx Documents, where "xx"
is the name of your user account. For example, if your login was

Settings folder.
