      @lovetolerateandsquee It should be D: (Or whatever partition your Windows files are on) > Users > Your name on your Windows install.

              @cavatina @minti Plus there's at least one "beginner" Linux distro that uses a horrendous array of symlinks to give the illusion of a familliar windows filesystem

      @lovetolerateandsquee Did you install it via the live CD, or via the "install from inside Windows" option?

      @lovetolerateandsquee Pick the hard drive that seems to you as the right size for your windows hard drive, unless you wiped them all, it should be there

      @lovetolerateandsquee Open the file manager and look for a "harddisk" icon, that's your Windows drive.

          @lovetolerateandsquee Right click that, "mount". Browse it. If you have a folder called "users" that's your windows drive. Your desktop should be /media/windows/Users/name/Desktop xD or something

            @minti Stop! Too complicated and wrong! (Because Ubuntu auto-mounts it)

                @minti I think it does, but now I think I may be wrong. I'm sorry for yelling... v.v

                  @omni Actually, it does. I just have a habit of over complicating things. XD

                    @minti Most distributions assume less and let you decide yourself more, I guess. Still, I shouldn't have yelled, I'm sorry... v.v (Bed time)

          @lovetolerateandsquee that sounds like it. Unless you renamed your C drive in windows, like I did. (Windows the Seventh :P)

          @lovetolerateandsquee That sounds like a possibility, though I don't know the size of your Windows drive.
