Lost My SharedDocs Folder
Somehow, I have managed to have lost my SharedDocs folder. I'm on a small
LAN, so I do need it. (I must have done a good job of it because it isn't in the Recycle Bin either) How can I get it back?? Thx Haz Looks like lost from everywhere - 1) Not in Tweak/My Comp 2) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents is empty 3) http://computers.douglasthrift.net/winxpfaq.html#faq3 says to go to desktop.ini file in Shared Docuement folder. I have no Shared Documenst folder. I can put one in, but would it be 'functional'? 4) http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;319825 Microsoft says contact them for the fix. Not yet. I don't see what mods they want made to the registry - specifically "Replace the user name and user profile environment variables with the literal values for each user who logs on to the computer. NOTE: In each user's My Documents folder and subfolders, open the Desktop.ini files and modify the Owner value under the "DeleteOnCopy" section to match the user name. " 5) What to do?

Run the "Undo" on line 197 of this web page:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.co*m/xp_tweaks.htm Direct link: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs...umentsundo.reg If that does not fix it, locate the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths Add the following registry value, and then quit Registry Editor: Value name: user name Data type: REG_SZ Value data: user profile\My Documents Replace the words "user name" and "user profile" with the literal values for each user who logs on to the computer. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/communities...t/default.mspx "Haz" wrote in message ...
