EC I have OneDrive, but I avoid using it. &nbsp;If I don't get an answer here, I'll have to go searching the internet.

Well if you don't mind - if you figure out the solution please share it here on E-E. &nbsp;Thanks.

Eric, i'll try this tonight at home, but this thought came to mind. &nbsp;What I have done is pin the file manager to my taskbar. &nbsp;Maybe this is the cause. &nbsp;May I ask whether you have it pinned?
</div>


<div>
Last night I removed my pinned file folder from my taskbar, and while I did not work within the file manager that much, I believe it will be re-appear. &nbsp;I now access my file through the window app selection.<br />
I'll let you know what I find.

Hello, I probably should give these points to myself. &nbsp;When I discontinued the file manager from being pinned to the task bar, the problem got fixed.
</div>


<div>
Hm, it's pinned by default and so many people don't have this problem. I'll have a look at a workstation that had this after my vacation and see if that works .

Hello,
I'm not sure that many call it the "file manager," yet I'll use this name.  It used to be this name with windows 7.
When I get into the file manager, to manage my files I start getting a duplication of my documents folder.  
What is causing this and how can I stop it from doing this?
