This also means that in QStarDict you cannot choose a MyDocs folder as it lists a Documents folder........ Confused? I am.
Yes, this is a deliberate feature that people on this site actually defend as being kind to newbies by protecting them from using directories where they have no business going.

So your confusion is for your own good!

The last time I questioned this I was told I shouldn't have an N900.

Once you understand that under the MyDocs folder there is a .documents folder and that is where a lot of things go by default, it gets a bit easier.

File managers like CuteExplorer at least tell you the truth and let you see most of the directories that are out there.
