Missing the Documents folders in "My Computer"

Hi folks,

When I log into other users accounts on my WinXP machine (I'm the dad/admin,
they're my small kids), they have both "My Documents" and "Shared Documents"
visible when you open "My Computer".

When I log into the "Administrator" account, it has ALL the various
documents folder visible in "My Computer" (as expected).

But when I log into my own account (which is also has Administrator
priviledges), not only do I not see all the other users folders in "My
Computer" (which I should have), but I don't even see my own documents
folder nor the "Shared Documents" folder.

I *DO* have access to "My Documents" in the other usual places, and I do
have access to the other documents folders by digging through the Windows
directory. I just don't see any documents folders in the "My Computer"
directory.

Please help?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Run the undo from line 67 - Files Stored on this Computer

Or if you have TweakUI installed: My Computer/Files Stored .....

Yup, I got TweakUI, that solved it. Thanks so much, Kelly!

Great site, too. I've bookmarked it for future use!
