my documents

[Debbie]

When you open windows explorer you usually see my computer, my documents,
internet explorer, recycle bin and my network places. I don't see my
documents. How can I get those back to that spot? Thanks.

They are in "C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents". I am referring
to windows explorer window. It used to say Desktop, +My Documents, +My
Computer, +My Network Places, Recycle Bin, Internet Explorer. But My
Documents do not show up there. I want to know how to get them back there.
Thank you.

I created a new user and I don't see My Documents in the tree there either.
