1.18. Start Documents: All Versions

This command opens up your Documents folder, a very important folder indeed. It's designed to store just about all the work you do on your PCeverything except Music, Pictures, and Videos, which get folders of their own.

Of course, you're welcome to file your documents anywhere on the hard drive, but most programs propose the Documents folder as the target location for newly created documents.

Sticking with that principle makes a lot of sense, because it makes navigation easy. You never have to wonder where you filed something, since all your stuff is sitting right there in Documents.


Note: The Documents folder actually sits in the Computer Local Disk (C:) Users [ Your Name ] folder.)If you study that path carefully , it should become clear that what's in Documents when you log in (page 688) isn't the same thing that other people will see when they log in. That is, each account holder (Chapter 23) has a different Documents folder, whose contents switch according to who's logged in.
