"files stored on this computer" problem

[Paul]

All (HELP !!)

I have a machine running XP pro SP2 and if I create a user called ursula
as a limited account, when I log in, under "my computer" "ursula's
documents" folder does not appear but the sharedocs folder does.
If I change ursula to an administrator her "my documents" appears under
my computer. How can I get this working for her as a limited user ?
I have checked and when logged in as her there is a register entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths]
In the right pane, right click and choose New/String Value.

The format should be:
"folder title"="full folder path including drive letter"

the is an entry for her and other my documents.

she can access her my documents from her desktop fine, file permissions
is not the issue (imho).

I have tried deleting and re-adding the user, with no luck.
other users do not seem to be affected, i just have a user called ursula
! and i would like it too work for her.

thanks in advance paul

Just curious if anyone has gotten back on this yet. I am having the same
issue and have been looking to resolve it for a while now.

To recap:
In "My Computer" in the section labeled "Files Stored on This Computer"
normally lyres the "Shared Documents" folder and "MyUserName's Documents".
These are shortcuts to the real locations of these items.

In my case, when I view "My Computer" I can only see "Shared Documents".
Now when I am logged in as "Admin" I can see "Shared Documents", "Admin's
Documents", and all other user's Documents.

I have checked the DocFolderPaths setting in the registry and everything is
correct. I have double checked file and folder permissions as well for the
"Documents and Settings" folders and everything appears correct... the issue
really appears to be a permission setting though.

Am I missing something here? Everything had worked fine... but suddenly
didn't... don't know for sure what it was that caused the change.

Using WinXP Pro SP2

Thanks in advance.
