Do any of your libraries contain one of the desktop\temp folders?

Nope. But maybe it have to do something with libraries.

When i installed Win7, i copied everything from backed up my documents folder directly into documents library. Was that OK?

Use Windows explorer for sharing not temp folders. You aren't giving me any info to work with here.

What info exactly you need?

Ignore that temp folder, just pretend that is named "Data" or something else. It has nothing to do with windows temporary folders or anything else. Is just standard plain folder on the desktop with that name. I created that folder and gave it name Temp.

You would be better served by sending the "Documents back up file" to the "My Documents"> User name/My Documents folder instead of Libraries. After that it will show up in Libraries.

I think the problem with your User folder is that you have other Op systems "besides Windows 7" in your Homegroup network which always seems to cause User folder problems for some reason. If that is the case then you need to leave the Homegroup and set up a Workgroup instead.

Also, as I mentioned earlier do not use a temp folder "or any folder created on the desktop" as a network folder. Use Windows Explorer for that please. You can just click on the folder icon lower left for that.

Looks like you are sharing the whole Users Folder:

You need to break that share before you make a new one. Remove that share and do a cold reboot. Make sure the share is NOT there before you do anything else.

Is not mixed OP. Every pc in the homegroup have Win7.

I have an XP laptop but i connect it every few weeks, so i guess it should not be a problem.

Nope you can't mix the XP machine into a Homegroup network without causing certain types of sharing problems. That may not be the cause of the User folder problem but usually when you add a non Windows 7 machine to a Homegroup it will cause strange sharing of the User folder for some reason. That might be the problem here. I'm really not sure why that happens. Try the steps below please.

To share single files from your User folder just click on your User name > start/User Name >upper right you will see User name, click there. You will get the entire user folder like in the picture below, click on which ever file you want to share and choose "share with" then select "Homegroup read/write" or what ever you want.

Do not use a temp folder or desktop created folder for this like you are doing now. This works for me everytime I try so hopefully it will work for you as well. :)
