I am using Paint (in Windows 10 v. 20H2 OS Build 19042.1415). When I save a creation in Paint, not all are appearing (as saved files) in the folder where supposedly saved. What is going on? Where might I find the missing files? And, how can I get the files to appear where I am CLEARLY telling Paint where to save my files?

Ug! I found them. I withdraw the question. I didn’t realize I am inadvertently saving to my thumb drive with a folder of the same name as the “C” drive. My bad! (faceslap!)
