Hi, Christy-- I don't use win 7 much, but it is installed on several of our computers. What I like to do, since I use windows explorer a lot, is go to: Start--All Programs--Accessories-- then click and drag Windows Explorer to the task bar at the bottom of the screen. Then it's available at one easy click. To make a shortcut to My Documents: Click on Windows Explorer in the task bar. In the left pane, you should see Documents with a little arrow in front of it. Click once on the arrow; now (indented) below Documents you should see My Documents. Right click on My Documents and select Send to--Desktop (i.e. create a shortcut). Now you have My Documents available on your Desktop. Mostly, Win 7 looks a bit different at first, but if you ignore parts you don't care about and focus on the ones you want, you might get to like it. What I love about it is: it starts up QUICK!!! When you double click on the My Docs shortcut, you'll still see stuff in the left pane; but at the top the heading is My Documents. And in the right pane are all your folders and documents...or if they're not, it's easy to drag and drop them into My Documents from wherever they ended up. As always, you can make a new folder or sub-folder by right clicking in the right pane and choosing New--Folder, then naming it. Hope this helps!
