why does this *ALWAYS* happen to my documents / shared documents folders?
http://www.rtdos.com/downloads/docfolder.JPG
See photo; For some reason now, document folders are no longer showing up in the start menu (or other areas of explorer) as the "username Documents" but as you can see all show up as "My Documents" and shared documents simply comes up as "Documents". Is there a fix?

Type this command in Start/Run:
rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerUserInit This fixes the Desktop.ini for the My Documents and it's sub-folders for the currently logged on user. Run this command under every other user profile (login). Additionally, to fix the Desktop.ini for the Shared Documents folder, see: http://computers.douglasthrift.net/w...ared_documents -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "(ProteanThread)" wrote in message .. . http://www.rtdos.com/downloads/docfolder.JPG See photo; For some reason now, document folders are no longer showing up in the start menu (or other areas of explorer) as the "username Documents" but as you can see all show up as "My Documents" and shared documents simply comes up as "Documents".

Would this command also make it possible for me to create new folders whose
filenames would appear directly under My Computer in the Windows Explorer hierarchy? Joan "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote in message ...

When you select My Computer, directly under which I seek to create new
folders, then click "File," the option "New" does not present itself. That option only appears at lower levels of the Windows Explorer hierarchy. "» mrtee «" wrote in message ...
