How can I get the filing system back that I had in Windows
98? I want My Documents to be in the C: drive, because I
can't get the files in My Documents to open in my favorite
text editor (it only reads from the C:/ D:/ etc. drives,
but not from My Documents (where all my files are!). It
doesn't make sense to me how MS changed this. There must
be a way to do that? Please tell me if you know. I really
appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Your My Documents folder is located in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>
This assumes XP is installed on C:

You can also use TweakUI for XP to change the location of the My Documents
folder. Its in the My Computer, Special Folders portion. TweakUI can be
downloaded from www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
