Need I worry?. It wont let me rename the folder. But I also got a firewall
error message "unable to access shared documents folder" so there could be
a problem here.

Possibly the Desktop.ini file.

Go here:

Click the "F".
Scroll down to Folders.
And a little more to:

Added Note:

Question: One of my special folders (e.g. My Documents, My Music, My
Pictures, Shared Documents, etc) has lost its name, lost its icon, or has
the wrong Task Pane template, how can I get it back?

Thanks, I reisntalled xp on repair basis as other things were going wrong
too. It seems to have done the trick. AdAware also found a trojan.
