Tahir

hi all,

i have a strange problem on my Vista Home Premium
my default path for may "Documents" folder changed from
"C:\Users\tahir\Documents" to "C:\Users\tahir\My Documents", and the
pictures changed from "C:\Users\tahir\Pictures" to "C:\Users\tahir\My
Documents\My Pictures", etc...
so when i open my dir, there are 2 Documents, 2 Music, 2 Pictures...

what hapened? what can i do to take this back?

Thanks :)

Go to start/.../run and type the command:
%userprofile%
This is the path used by the system to put documents in your profile
folders. You will find the the "My Documents" folder is 'access denied', and
'Documents' is available. This 'mirror' makes your system more secure.
(albeit less 'backward compatible' with previously written software)
