ahh.. Sunday afternoon on the PC...
See some questions I embedded in your response below...
Your response didnt mention whether it is necessary to complete the last
step I mentioned earlier...
:
Amazing. I have been offline for a month and I stumble over this post.
;-)
Desktop.ini files have the System and Hidden attributes. To see any
desktop.ini files you have to have Display the contents of system
folders and Show hidden files and folders set in Folder Options.
(understood, and have set my options to comply for this exercise, then
I will reset to defaults since it is not recommended to have these
files displayed and at risk)
Sample desktop.ini for My Documents:
[DeleteOnCopy] (this is an omnious item... is it a command? should I
delete something?...
Owner=Wesley P. Vogel
Personalized=5
PersonalizedName=My Documents
If Owner= has a different name than the user's, the My Documents folder
is
labeled with a different user's logon name when a user views the
folders by
using Windows Explorer.

I also had this same problem, and Mr Vogel's solution worked nicely.
The only thing I would add is that I was unable to follow the last
step that is indicated as "note"... In each user's My Documents
folder and subfolders, open the Desktop.ini files and modify the
Owner value under the "DeleteOnCopy" section to match the user name.
Not sure the purpose of this step, or if it is necessary when adding
in the missing USER for the Files Stored on this Computer. Mr Vogel,
your thoughts?

"[userX]'s Documents" missing on "Files Stored on this computer"
When I double-click on My Computer there is a section called "Files
Stored on this Computer". This section is currently displaying
"[userX]'s Documents" for all windows users but one. Does anyone
know how to show the folder for "[userX]'s Documents"?
