Work with Documents in libraries

In Windows 7, working with libraries in Windows Explorer and open a document in a folder, edit and save this document, why not this file back to the folder from which it was opened?  Files are beind found rather in C:\Users\ with different extensions, including public Documents which, for some reason, has disappeared from my computer.  I can put all my documents from the files searched in their original place so that I can save these new documents on a USB?  Suggestions appreciated.

Your files are actually in C:\Users\yourusername...

The libraries contain only sets of shortcuts to files in these folders.  Libraries are nothing else than these collections of shortcuts even if they seem to be the files themselves.

Many people avoid the risk of confusion and mistakes by going to C:\Users\yourusername so that individual folders in the right pane of the Explorer and then right-clicking on their record of \Documents C:\Users\yourusername, select create a shortcut , and then put that shortcut on the desktop.  If you then use this shortcut to start Windows Explorer, then you will be able to get directly to these files in the future.

You can also drag the folder Documents & drop on the badly-named Favorites entry * in the upper left corner of your window of the Explorer.  Allows easier access to these folders.

* This has nothing to do with IE Favorites and is the successor to Windows XP is underutilized facilities MyPlaces.

It should be called really links to avoid confusion, and if you look in the C:\Users\yourusername\Links folder then you will see a list of all files that you have in this favorite entry.
