My PC OS is Windows XP Professional, service pack 2.

After you created an user's account.

Then you open Window Explorer you will see that user's
"My Document" appear on "My Computer" under C: drive.

Some my daughter's (Teenager) "My Document" is missing from
the Window Explorer. She doesn't have system administrator
privilege, unless she find out my root password.

My question is how do I put back my daughter's "My Document"
under "My Computer"'s C: drive?
I failed to created short cut and folder.
Please give me step-by-step procedure.

Any other good news group for MS Windows XP issures?
 
After she is logged in:

Right-Click on the Start button, select Properties.
On the Start Menu tab, click on the Customize button.
Under the Advanced tab, you will find a scrollbox with a number of entries.
Scroll down until you see My Documents and select the options you want.

If that is not what your looking for, try this:
Right-click on the Desktop, select Properties (or go to Display Properties
in the Control Panel).
Select the Desktop tab, and click on the Customize Desktop button.
Put a check next to My Documents. Click OK, and OK again.

I don't have My Documents in the Root of C:. It is located above My
Computer and in the user's folder under Documents and Settings.
