Why would it be that I can't list the contents of the documents directory, but it works for every other folder. It is behaving like I accessed the special folder "My Documents", but I didn't. The output is:

Volume in drive C has no label.

Volume Serial Number is xxxxx.

Directory of C:\Users\name\Documents

[Date] [Time] <DIR>

[Date] [Time] <DIR>

0 Files(s) 0 bytes

2 Dir(s) 38,917,156,864 bytes free

Maybe because it's a library. What you see in the 'My Documents' or 'Documents' library when you open File Explorer (Windows Explorer) is not necessarily in the %userprofile%\Documents Folder.
