Documents folder
My documents folder has disappeared from my favorites, but I have a ton of documents folders with ichat files in them. How do I get this back to being useful?

It may be that iCloud Drive got turned on. Check in Finder > Sidebar for an iCloud Drive folder with your Documents. If it's there then turn off iCloud Drive.
