Hi all,
I've messed up big time!! I tried moving My Documents folder to my D:\ drive and now have big problems!!!!
The whole folder disappeared. After searching the net for answers I altered some Registry settings (which was stupid I know
) but was able to get My Documents folder back under Desktop.
Now I don't have a User profile under C:\Users, just a Public folder. Here's the good part, if I right-click on My Documents folder in the Start Menu it says that my Location is C:\Users\myUserName which clearly doesn't exist.
Then if I click on myUserName in Windows Explorer it has every folder in the right hand pane except for the "Documents" folder but if I expand the tree of the username on the left hand side of Windows Explorer it has a Documents folder and all my files are dispayed in the right hand pane.
Also my NTUSER.dat file is in myUserName folder under Desktop not under C:\Users\**** where it's supposed to be. Have tried System Restore several times but it makes no difference.
Does any of this make any sense?? Can someone please help me to restore my "Personal" folder under C:\Users and the proper registry settings that I should have??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
