Windows Visata fax Error: Cannot find Document Folder

Yes, I moved my document folder to Drive D:.

My experiments and research showed that document folder cannot be a root
directory. I had to create a folder on drive D which is now identified as my
"document folder' and this program works fine. It is strange that a root
folder cannot be used as "Document Folder". I think MS needs to look at this
issue and any folder whether or not a root folder should be allowed as
document folder.

Microsoft has looked at it and the answer has been posted here many times.
Do not put your Documents Folder on the root drive.
