My Documents error message

[Guest]

XP Professional
In My Computer I couldn't see My Documents folder system link. Could still
open My Documents from Start menu and via C:\Documents & Settings\UserName\My
Documents.
Using My Documents properties. tried the Microsoft instruction "How to
change the default location of the My Documents folder" by creating a new
folder in C:\ , but not moving the files. Worked fine - link appeared
Then tried to restore to default location by selecting "restore default" but
get error message "the target you specified cannot be used as a documents
folder"
Manually entering path brings same result.
When selecting Move and navigating to C:\Documents & Settings\UserName\My
Documents, the OK button is grayed out.

No need to relocate the My Documents folder for this problem. Fix the
"DocFolderPaths" setting accordingly. For more information, see section
"WORKAROUND" in this link:

To restore the My Documents location to default, you may do it via the
registry:
