What should I do now? ( Is this normal?) NOTE! I notice that my C:\Users\(user-name)\My Documents is hidden (shaded) and appears like a shortcut icon. Also I can't access/open this "hidden" My Documents, it gives me a access denied warning. When I open its property, under security, it has the access rights per normal for Admin, (my user name), but the access for "Everyone" is unchecked. I read on another site, that you may need to delete this "hidden" My Documents. What should I do with it? Thanks in advance. Could you post a screenshot of your opened C:\Users\(user-name) folder to help see what is going on? It must be from this location, and not a shortcut of the location. |

| |  Here have a look. I'm just can't seem to rename the Document folder back to My Document, without being told to "merge" with this "junction" My document. What should I do? Leave it alone? Sorry for the late reply. Didn't know its already on page 2. |

| | Do OPTION ONE in the tutorial below with the Documents folder to see if that may be able to restore the name back to My Documents afterwards. User Folders - Restore Default Location |

| | Just tried Option 1 in the tutorial. When I press the Restore Default button it just stays the same. Its set to C:\Users\<myname>\Documents when I opened it. Which is the default location in the first place. I guess this is due to me having done Option 2 earlier. Other then the name "Documents". It does works like a normal My Documents. Should I leave it alone till I get my Hard Drive back and just relocate it? |

| | As long as it works like the normal My Documents folder, it will not hurt anything to use like that if you like. |
