"Shared documents" Folder Is Displayed As "documents" In Path

[Jim]

I read through many of the other inputs, but some of the links are no longer
active. In the path bar the "Shared documents" shows up in the path bar as
"documents". Initially, the path lead to some confusion when I was trying to
find the missing documents folder that was in the path of file.

Hi Jim,

See if this helps and good luck!

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and verify this key and values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\My
Computer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders

Sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If this subkey is not
present, you will not have the group: Other files stored on this computer.

If you delete this, all of the Shared Documents folders (which are normally
under the group called "Other Files Stored on This Computer") will be gone.

You do not need to reboot your system to see the change.

Is this going to dump the Shared documents folder? I just was wondering why
is the shared documents folder being displayed in the path as
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents"

Instead of

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents"

Of course then that begs to ask also about Shared Music displaying as My
Music and Shared pictures displaying as My Pictures and Shared Video as My
Videos.

Thanks!
