My Documents generating Shortcuts

Please Help.

When opening any document (picture,spreadsheet,word
document) from any program, my computer will generate a
shortcut to it in the "My Documents" folder.

This happens even if a file is in a subfolder of "My
Documents" or in a different partition on the hard disk.

My PC has only 1 operating system (XP Home) but 2
partitions.
 
Hi Alan,

Sounds as though your Recent Documents Path is wrong. Verify the settings
here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Explorer\Shell Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders
