    When I access a Word, Excel or other document, I have to browse thru many levels of folders, e.g, Documents and Settings\Stuart\My Documents, etc before I can get to the folder where i actually save the documents. Is there any reason why I shouldnt "flatten" the approach, and just store everything in under C:\My Documents?

    Also, Windows 7 defaults to a "Documents" (not "My Documents" folder.

    You can store your files wherever you want - just make a new folder for the purpose or store in Documents which is the Windows 7 default location aka My Documents in XP from which I suspect you upgraded.

    There is also no Documents & Settings folder in a virgin install of Windows 7 - you are harking back to your XP days?
