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.
Use System Restore to go back to a point before you did it.
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
If you click the start orb, then right click All Programs, clicking "open" will take you to the folder location for your start menu. Clicking "Open All Users" will take you to the folder location for the All users part of the start menu. You can edit the start menu manually by dragging and dropping, or creating folder and shortcuts. Just cut and past the stuff you evidentially put in your my documents folder back into the start menu. Going into folder options and showing hidden and system files will make it easier.
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.
