Hi Kelly, David,
Following yours advices "Slavcho Hristov's Documents" folder came back under
"Files Stored on this Computer". Thank you very much! But location is in
C:\Documents and settings\ Slavcho Hristov. My wish is the content of this
foldr to be in D:\ , because I haven't space enought on "C"drive. Could you
help me with this?
Sincerely,
Slavcho
