    It sounds like you have to deal with the problem via the Navigation Pane. This tutorial might hold the answer to your problem, or at the very least, give you some guidance as to other options you might try:
    How to Add or Remove the Windows 7 Libraries Folder from the Navigation Pane
    I'll take a look.

    Didn't work either.

    Did System Restore complete or fail? Try another restore point?
    Yeah tried a couple all from previous points, none worked.

    They're acting as shortcuts kind of.
    Didn't answer my question...

    Did System Restore complete successfully or did it fail? I'm not asking if it solved the problem, just asking if it completed successfully or not. If not, try it in Safe Mode.
    I did answer, I said 'Yeah'.

    When I ask did it complete successfully or did it fail, "yeah" doesn't tell me what I need to know.

    I accidentally selected 'Public Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'Public Pictures' and dragged and dropped them into My Documents and they appear as categories (collapsible items) in My Documents. How do I remove them? Deleting only deletes the content within rather than remove these categories. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. Thanks.
    If you ever do it again and you immediately realize what you did, select Organize, Undo.

    Easy fix, At the top it says:

    Documents library
    Includes: 4 locations

    Click the '4 locations' or however many and just remove the ones you want.

    Dunno how I missed that, thanks for the help anyway.
