I know it is always there by default, unless you install onedrive. Then that same button gets repurposed and it doesn’t point to your local documents directory anymore. You don’t get two documents shortcuts. like you, I also use my computer daily. that’s nothing special. most people do
It doesn’t point you to a different folder, it’s the same directory as the local Documents.
What I suggested is that you could create your own shortcuts that fit better your needs, I didn’t say it would create two documents shortcuts. I’m not sure what you are talking about.
And hey, I was trying to give you tips on how things actually work. If you want to be antagonistic, fine, I’ll shut up then 🤐

Have a good one
It is not. if it were, they’d both contain the same files. they do not. so they’re not.
They’d also have the same directory path. They do not. Going to those two different paths gives you a different set of files.
I just scanned the files in both directories. the files in them are physically on different spots on the filesystem, at the cluster level.
They are not the same directory. I don’t know what to tell you.
C:\users{user}\documents is the windows default
Onedrivechanges it to C:\users{user}\onedrive\documents
I believe this is the ‘known folder move’ feature. I kinda assumed it does the same sort of thing for desktop, did you get bitten in that front, too?
