Display My Documents icon in My Computer Folder

Recently, I have noticed that when I click on My Computer icon, I do not see
My Documents icon. I see Shared Documents. I tried copying My Documents
folder to paste in My Computer but it does not work

How can I show username My Documents shortcuts in My computer folder???

Thanks Patti. I did that but I am still only showing "Shared Documents"
only under "Files stored on this Computer"when I open "My Computer"folder

Any other ideas.....I believe you understand the problem

Hi Nick,

Open the registry editor (StartRun key in regedit then click on OK or hit
ENTER). Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurr entVersionExplorerDocFol
derPaths
In the upper menu, go to EditNewString Value
Name the String Value with the username for the My Documents folder that
you
want to have appear in My Computer (Nick, for example). Now, right-click
on
the new "Nick" String Value that you created, and select Modify. In the
Value Data field, key in the full path to that user's My Documents folder
(for example, C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\My Documents).
Close the registry editor.

Now, when you open My Computer, "Nick's Documents" should appear as an
icon.
