Windows 10: Move many scanned documents to one folder

Trying to place many scans into one folder

:)

 

scanned documents

Hello,

By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

• Press Windows and type pictures
• Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

link.

Let us know how that turned out for you.

Some scanned documents not visible in Public folders

Both my wife and I have administrator accounts on our PC. If my wife scans a document and saves the file in the Public Documents folder, both she and I can read it. If I scan a document and save the file in the Public Documents folder, only I can read it. I thought that all documents in the Public folders were accessible by anyone with an account on that computer, but this is clearly not the case, as this example proves.


On looking at Advanced Security Settings on the scan I created, the Principals are shown as SYSTEM, Administrators, and myself, and at the bottom of the screen “Enable inheritance” is shown. On looking at those same settings on the scan my wife has created, the Principals are shown as SYSTEM, Administrators, my wife, and myself, and at the bottom of the screen “Disable inheritance” is shown.


I hope that this information may be enough for someone to be able to suggest a way of putting this right. Grateful for any suggestions.
