Outlook 2000 can't see My Documents

[Guest]

Hi,

I wondier if anyone help. I have a PC running Windows XP and Outlook 2000.
When I try to attach a file in Outlook 2000, I can't naviage to My Documents.

The My Documents folder is stored on a separate data partition. When I try
to attach a file in Outllook, whether I navigate to My Documents via the
desktop or go directly to the actual partition, the folder I see is not my
actual My Documents folder.

If I search for the contents of the "phantom" My Documents folder (the one I
see when I try and attach in Outlook), Windows search finds the files in
questions, but tells me simply that they are in "My Documents", without any
path. I've looked in the redunant My Documents folder on the C:\ drive,
that's not it, the documents aren't there.

If I naviage to the My Documents folder in any other way, from any other
program, everything works fine.

Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to fix this? It's driving me nuts.

Many Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Thanks

Karl

Have you perhaps moved your My Documents in a none supported method?

My Documents, origonally, should be located under Documents &
Settings\'username'\ grouping
not under c:\My Documents

When you use the attachment Btn, the resulting window should enable you to
navigate to any location on your HD, even if you have multiple hd's /
partitions.

A friend found this problem yesterday. I discovered by trial and error that if you view the folder by Detail all of the missing folders & files appear. No idea why, though.

I'd changed the target for "My Documents" in the approved way. Don't know if this has anything to do with it.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/252732/en-us might also help, but in my case it was correctly set.
