Call me stupid but when I installed Dropbox I didn't realise that in my Win7 Documents folder there would become a link to "my files in Dropbox". I thought that I was making a copy rather than shoving them somewhere else.
So can anyone tell me a) has my documents folder just been renamed, b) or is it a symlink to a folder that I need to find and c) most importantly what is the best way to get my documents file back where it belongs even if it means un-installing Dropbox.
I wish I hadn't installed this virus on my computer.
Thanks

It's a separate folder, just out files in there you want copied to the Dropbox on the Web. Not sure why you call it a virus?!

He answered your question perfectly well. If you don't understand it then that's your fault, don't criticise him for your lack of ability to use google.
