Shared Documents folder got renamed to Documents?

[Mitch]

Hi all,

On my XP pro laptop, recently (I didn't notice until now), the All
Users\Shared Documents folder somehow got renamed to just "Documents" Since
it's a system folder, Windows isn't letting me name it back, and I wonder
how it got re-named in the first place?

Thanks,

First, go to Start>Search>type Shared Documents>Search
XP may have moved the Shared Documents to another directory. If none
found, you can create a new folder called Shared Documents, then Copy &
Paste all contents from the Documents folder to the new Shared Documents
folder and delete the old one.
