in the 'my computer' view under the heading 'files in my computer' i can no
longer see the file 'james's documents' .this is the same case for all
users.i can still access this folder via my documents or by searching through
the hard drive. i have not set this folder to private. how can i restore this
folder in the 'my computer' view. i have tried system restore which worked
however it messed up other settings so this is not really an option. any help
would be much appreciated.
