"My Documents folder suddenly disappeared from desktop"

Did you select it and press delete?

Any way, this is nice and simple (asuming your using Windows XP) open
he desktop properties, go to the "Desktop" tab and click the
"Customize Desktop..." button, i think you can work the rest out.

How can I get it back in Win2000?
 
Start Windows Explorer - menu Tools - Folder Options.
On tab View, scroll down in Advanced Settings list.
Select Show My Documents on the Desktop.

Oh, sorry I wasnt looking. Any way, to do this in Win 2k, go to folder
options (Open Explorer window, then go Tools > Folder Options) then go
to view, and check the "Show My Documents on Desktop".
 
Well, it's solved. "Show My Documents on the Desktop" was already checked.
But I unchecked it, hit Apply, checked it again, and, for good measure, hit
"Restore Defaults," and then clicked OK. One of the two worked.

Problem solved. Thanks.
