The My Documents folder is a special folder that is attached to each user account as the default save location for many types of file. Normally this is located in “C:Users<Username>Documents”, but you may wish to change this path to another directory or drive.

To do so, browse to “C:Users<Username>” using Windows Explorer (Press WINDOWS KEY + E to access this). Then, right click on My Documents and select Properties:
