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

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?

Lost from where?

Do you have TweakUI installed?
[+] My Computer | Check � Files stored on this computer |
Apply | OK

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents
or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

is the Shared Documents folder. It gets it's name from the desktop.ini
file.

The desktop.ini file may be missing or messed up.

Detailed instructions here on how to fix or create a desktop.ini file for
the Shared Documents folder...
