Double My Documents

T

tatar

Windows XP SP3

My drive D has a folder Ersoy Documents and Asaf Documents
When I go to Start > My Document I get "Ersoy Document". This is how I set
it up.

If I go to My Computer in addition to all the drives and Shared Documents
folder I also have a folder "Ersoy's Documents". It's contents are identical
to My Documents/Ersoy Documents. I can not delete the folder. If I delete
any file from it, the file is also deteted from My Documents.

If I hover the mouse over it I see the following: "Contains files and
folders shared between the users of this computer". I do not have any
folders and drives which are shared.

Obviously, it is an image of My Documents folder but how can I get rid of
it, and what is its use?
