Ok I was recently messing around with my computer and I moved the "documents" folder for the users folder to my desktop. It was taking a long time to copy which led me to thing it was permanantly moving the folder to my desktop from the users folder instead of copying it. I then canceled it and a shortcut to the documents folder came up on my desktop and no harm was done (aka the documents folder was still in the users folder). Then I deleted the icon on my desktop and emptied the recycle bin. Noz this made it so that I can't access my documents from the start menu but i can still access them from the users folder. Please try to understand this post as I really need this problem to be fixed.

If I understand this correctly you're saying you no longer have a My Documents showing on your Start Panel? If that's the case open your start panel and right click on it. Click on Properties, Customize, Advanced(tab at top). My Documents can be found as the fourth item down.

If you right click on the my documents folder in the start menu and select properties, there is a list of features to choose from.

You may want to click the location tab and you will have three options 1-Restore Default 2-Move 3-Find Target.

If I understand you correctly you may want to use the find target option and hunt down the my documents folder that you can access.

For a reference Mine is found at C:\Users\Administrator\Documents

Hope this may help and let us know if you fix it and how, so it helps others figure out if any of the possible solutions worked.

Good Luck!
