Lost files after system restore - more info

[Steven Siegler]

I think this following error message from the event viewer relates to my
earlier post about losing files after a system restore.

The server service was unable to recreate the share SharedDocs because the
directory C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\DOCUMENTS no longer exists.
Please run "net share SharedDocs /delete" to delete the share, or recreate
the directory C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\DOCUMENTS.

Steven,

Type in Start, Run:

CMD.EXE

Press enter.

Now type this in the console:

net share SharedDocs /delete

EXIT

Then create the following folder using Windows Explorer:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
