Title: Duplicate Documents folders
Post by: djacob7 on June 25, 2018, 02:35:05 PM

Out of the blue my computer shows two Documents folders. I'm reluctant to delete one of them because it might delete both.
Anyone see this happen before? What can I do?

You sure you didn't just open 2 instances of it and the focused side by side ? ?
They are identical...i doubt they are duplicates if you know what i mean...

Ahaaaa...just took a 2nd look...the 2nd one is shared...which means it aint a duplicate...it means it is shared with another drive/partition or PC...

No worries...i'd leave both alone...1 on the left is the original BTW.

Thanks, patio! It might have recognized my new tablet.
