Hello,

A few days ago I made a mistake & inadvertently moved my documents folder to
the desktop. I have no major problems & have lost no files, but I feel I
ought to move it back to where it came from.

I don't know where it belongs in the file tree !

Can someone tell me where to move it to please?

I assume its OK just to click & drag it back ?

Thanks

KK

It belongs in C:\Users\[your user account]. Since you dragged it out to the
Desktop, you should be able to drag it back to where it belongs. Open the
window for your user account and try it.

Right-click on Documents, choose Properties. In the Location tab, click on
"Restore Default".
