Hi
I have a small problem here. I seem to have two My Documents. The other is
right under Desktop and the other My Computer > C > Documents and Settings
"User1"> My Documents. Both are shared but have sligthly different
contents. This is confusing.
Thanks
Kalevi
 
Everything sounds right, except for the contents being different. Here is
an image of my desktop with the My Documents folder displayed under Desktop
and under 'C:\Documents and Settings\myUserName\' and open to reveal
contents of both.

If you are absolutely positive that the contents of these folders are
different on your machine, right click the My Documents folder on your
Desktop and select Properties from the menu. The Target Folder Location
text-box should have 'C:\Documents and Settings\yourUserName\My Documents'
displayed there.

If not, make it so. You'll then need to move all desired items from the
rogue My Documents folder to the one true My Documents folder.

I hope this helps,
