You don't live in Madrid and anyone who buys two new laptops with 512 &

False logic.

You seem to be working hard to misdirect your efforts. I suggest you find
some tutorial online or buy a decent book and work from there. >

The thing is you see, I actually know where Windows 7 stores files, because
I have bought various books and read them, and have had a good look at what
the system does. Obviously, the fact that one needs to do that is ample
evidence of what I am saying.

If you don't agree, I am certain that Microsoft, and many book publishers
would be happy to pay you well for writing a couple of short paragraphs
about where files are stored.

User files are stored where the USER puts them - ie C:/Users/{Account
name}/Documents. Where else would they be?

I was amused that johnbee also chose to clip a relevant part of my text
when he replied.

I think he also fails to realize that OSes are, by necessity, not quite as
easy to use as a faucet.

But that's the whole point - they ARE! Certainly modern ones. Remember
WFWG 3.11?

That was the one that convinced me it was time to run Windows.

I'm hoping that, when you say that they are as easy to use as a faucet,
you're just pulling my chain. Or Microsoft's?

If not, then I can't come close to agreeing with you. If yes, then I'm
laughing. Ha ha (see?).

Nice effort, but an excellent demonstration of what I have been saying.
Such a directory does not even exist on my PC.

C:/Users\johnbrockbank\Documents is virtual and shows in WinExplorer as
C:/Users\johnbrockbank\My Documents

Don't be such a pedant. OK - I missed out the "My". Which certainly DOES

Yeah, but your 87-year-old mother-in-law might be a whole lot smarter than
I am :)
