Shared Documents folder name?

T

TANDEX

I have found, that the Shared Documents folder(in My Computer) has changed
its name- earlier it was 'Shared Documents'(default), and now became just
'Documents'. What the reason?? Also, I see that in 'My Network Places' my
folder called 'SharedDocs on .. ' - i.e. normal way.
Is that virus issue?

There should be a hidden file called desktop.ini in that folder. It contains the following two lines:

[.ShellClassInfo]
[email protected],-21785





If the folder is still named incorrectly, you'll need to edit the registry [watch wrap on link]:

About the network share...
When you use the network setup wizard, the Shared Documents folder will
automatically be shared. You can remove the share by going to the folder
properties -> Sharing -> Either:
uncheck "share this folder on the network".
or
select "do not share this folder".
