I'm using windows 8. Yesterday, I cleaned my keyboard and accidently deleted "My Documents" folder. When I try to save files, the folder is shown to be on the desktop, but it's not actually there.
The "Show Icons on Desktop" option is marked and every other folder is shown, expect for the My Documents folder.
Thank you :)

Hello MiriF,

Documents is available on the Start menu, and you can also create a shortcut to it on the desktop for faster access. In addition, new searching and organizing tools, such as the Navigation pane and the Search box, are available to help you rapidly locate files.

Unlike the old My Documents folder, Documents does not contain folders for pictures and music. Those folders are now stored outside of Documents and are also available on the Start menu.


To display a shortcut to the Documents folder on the desktop, see
