my documents missing in my computer

[frederick]

i have xp pro sp3.

the current-user my documents is missing in my computer for all the limited
accounts. they do appear properly for the administrators, however. if i
change the limited accounts to administrator status, then all the users'
documents show up. if i add a new limited account, no my documents appear.

i have found several articles discussing this, or something similar, but
they don't seem to help.

i have tried:
looking at docfolderpaths
kathy's korner
tweakui (the option to show them doesn't appear when i'm logged on as a
limited account but is there for an administrator)

there's another thing to fix, too, but i don't know if it is related or if
it's better in another question. shared documents appears for all the users,
but it is listed as just documents.

please help.

maybe you're right. i could have sworn that i have seen it before, though.
maybe it depends on what version it is?

just an update. i was able to get shared documents to work correctly. i
went back through all the things that i'd tried and found that correcting all
my desktop.ini files to the info here
http://computers.douglasthrift.net/winxpfaq/#faq3_shared_documents fixed my
shared documents problem. now my computer shows shared documents rather than
just documents.

limited users still do not show their own documents folder in my computer,
however. i wonder why. it seems as if it could be a security problem, but i
have complete access to it. i'm stumped.
