[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1601142"] Your files should be in your User directory, the one with the little house beside it in Finder. Under that directory you should find the folders and files from your PC, with what was in My Documents now shown, along with any folders in the My Documents folder on the PC. Note that the little house icon in Finder moves with the account that is logged in. I.e., if User1 is logged in the little house should be on the User1 name, but if User2 is logged in the house is beside User2's name. It's trying to show you your HOME folder, see? The only thing I can think of is that somehow you aren't really logging into the new user that MA created. Log into that account and open Finder, then look to see where the house icon is. It should be beside the name of the account, in your case the PC name. Is it there? [/QUOTE]
