My Documents Folders

I dragged 2 folders from My Documents into the Shared Folder for the
network. Namely, My Music and My Pictures. I've since tried moving them
back to My Documents however I receive an error saying that they are
Windows system folders and cannot be moved, renamed, etc.

Can you help? TIA

Please don't post the same question multiple times -- this just
irritates the very people you are asking for help.

I was able to right click on each of the folders and 'Send' them to My
Documents. And they correctly point to C:\Documents and Settings\User\My
Documents.

If these are considered Windows System folders and not to be moved by
default why I was allowed to move them in the first place?

Relax. If you'll look again you will see that I added some info to the
re-post regarding system restore. Thanks for the help...

Open a command prompt (Start run > type "CMD" > and click ok> Type "del" and
drag the folders (one by one) in the command prompt window and press enter.
If this does not work let me know the error message you receive.
