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?
