The link to "My Documents" on the left side of the window
of my File Explorer is broken. When I click it, I get an
error stating that the destination is invalid with a long
string of garbage values.

How do I set it so that it points to the right place?
The My Documents icon on my desktop still works fine. I
poked around the registry, but didn't find a place to set
it.

Thanks!

You could try this quick before poking around in the registery, though I
can't say for certain it would work. Right click on the my documents folder
and change the target location to something simple like c:\. Reboot, change
the path to the original destination, and reboot again.
