    Hello, try this
    Start, Run, you type regedit and hit enter
    you go to the tree at
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders.
    You edit the value "Personal"
    You should have the value: C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\My documents
    The "User_Name" is the one you use to log in
    Then reboot your PC

    Hello,
    and no, it's not resolved. I don't know if that changes anything, but I have 2 hard drives: C: where Windows is, and E: where all my stuff is that I want to keep, like "my documents."
    I'm asking you for a bit more help.

    Hello, try this
    Go back to the registry, open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem.
    Check that the value NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is equal to 0.
    Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and check that the path of the Personal value is valid. Additionally, you say that you have your documents on your second disk, is it a backup or are you working directly on it, in short, when you open "My Documents", are you on C or on your second disk? If it's the second, it's the path to the documents folder on your second disk that needs to be indicated.
    Also check in the same key above that the value "My Pictures" is valid as well; it should indicate the path to your "My Pictures" folder, if it's also on your second disk, it should point to that folder

    Surely a localization problem, it was probably not anticipated in the game that the Documents folder could be on a different partition and location than the default one, try contacting their hotline.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem too, but for me, it's not my documents, it's rather "program files," so is it the same solution?

    Re.. Peush,
    So,
    Execute Regedit
    then open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE System CurrentControlSet Control FileSystem.
    Check that the value NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is set to 0.
    Then open the key HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Folders and verify that the path of the value My Pictures is valid.
