Do you mean "my documents" or "recent documents"?

It is not clear what you are asking. Which Windows OS are you running Classic Shell on, Windows 7 or Windows 8? Can you show with a screenshot what you are asking, please? Document path in the Start Menu or document path in Explorer?

To see Documents in the menu, there is the Documents item in the right column. It can show the contents of your documents folder or documents library. You can right click any document and choose "Open file location" to see its path.

To see Recently opened documents on your PC, there is "Recent Items" in the right column of the menu, for which you can right click too to open file location and see its path. If your Recent Items list is empty, right click the Taskbar and click Properties. Go to the Jump Lists tab and check "Store and display recently opened items in jump lists".

If you mean search, then you will have to add that folder to the Documents Library or to Indexing Options Control Panel to see the documents show up in search. If you hover over the document search results, you will see the path.
