If I didn't want to use OneDrive, I would go to Windows Explorer.
Then the C drive
Then Users
Then I would go to my user folder.
Under that is Documents. You'll also see OneDrive; steer clear.
I'd make subfolders under documents and keep everything there...just like the old days.
After several hours of trying to find an excel document that vanished, with just a path that said the document must have moved? (it was asking me ) I have finally figured out to do just what you said. I did this a couple of times, saved my document, saw it said "saved in this PC", noted down the path. I am not 100% sure I will see this tomorrow. This is how it has been.
Yes!
Just for giggles...back to the MS-DOS days (DOS is still alive kind-of...underneath)
search for cmd or run cmd until a black box pops up.
then type CD..
again type CD..
Then type dir
then type CD users
then type dir
then type cd (the name of your user folder)
then type dir
You should see the folders and files in your user folder.






then DIR
Too complicated!
Why not just do

Code:

cd \usersdircd (the name of your user folder)
Come to think of it, doesn't opening a Windows command prompt put you in your home directory to begin with?
