Linking old My Docs to new user account...

Brian

I had a crash of my system and it corrupted my personal
settings file. I couldn't recover it, so I opted to
create a new user account. Unfortunately, all the links
to My Documents are no longer there because it is a
different user. How can I restore the link there?
