I recently had to repair my SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.SYS
file after it was corrupted, but since the problem was
resolved Ashley's Documents (My Documents) does not
appear in My Computer or in any Save/Open Dialog Box's of
other User Log In's. How can I put it back there? I am
pretty sure I would need to change something in the
registry and am quite comfortable doing so...just need to
know what I am doing.
 
Hi,
Start>Run>Regedit>OK>
Now Navigate to :-
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc
FolderPaths
Create a key matching the user name: and set the my documents path
It will be like this :-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFo
lderPaths]
"Ashley"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Ashley\\My Documents"
