Recovering the Documents Folder

Thread needs solution

I understand that True Image allows recovery of individual files. I'm having trouble finding them, so I thought the easiest way would be to recover, or at least view, the Documents folder. Shouldn't I be able to get to the Documents folder by putting Documents is the TI search box? It doesn't bring anything up.

You should find your Documents folder under C:\Users\Username.  I did a search for Documents in the C: partition on one of my systems and got a big list to choose from.

What kind of a backup are you searching? 

I just ran a TI search of a backup of my C: drive and found many hits - my Documents folder plus lots of other files and directories that just happened to have "Documents" in their name.  Windows - at least Windows 10, and I think back to Win7 - allowed users to redefine the Documents folder to live on a drive other than C:.  Could that be true in this case?  Even so, there would almost inevitably be something with "Document" in the name.
