'My Documents' Folder Missing from Windows Explorer
Well, I couldn't really figure out why this was going on, but I wasn't seeing "My Documents" in Windows Explorer. Underneath "My Computer", I'd see "Rob's Documents' and "Jen's Documents". But they were listed pretty far down and I realized that I wasn't really seeing "My Documents", which has bugged me for some time.
So today, I finally broke down and found this solution:
Start - Run - Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\
If you don't see the key {450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103} in the left pane, then in the left pane, right-click the NameSpace key and select New, Key. Type exactly {450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103} and press Enter.
Then, in the right pane, right-click (Default) and select Modify. In the resulting
Edit String dialog box, on the Value data line, type: My Documents and click OK. Close the Registry Editor.Click the desktop once, press F5 (for refresh).
