I just set up my new Vista laptop, and I am less than impressed. after having
to change the IRPStack size on the other computers in my home network to
allow printer and file sharing (who has ever heard of that issue?) I've
encountered a new problem that has stumped me and the IT guys at my place of
employ.
It all started when I first turned on the laptop. I attemtped to Drag and
Drop the Documents folder from my user folder onto my Desktop. I did it
without even thinking - I know, I should have just created a shortcut.
That's when then fun started.
Once I realized that I didn't want to move the folder, I attempted to move
it back - a simple process in previous windows editions. However, this time,
it didn't work. The folder went back into the User folder, but it started
creating a proliferation of Documents folders. I'm not sure why, but a
Documents folder appeared inside the documents folder, and another one inside
of that. It went about seven levels deep at the worst point. Once I deleted
out these additional folded inside of the documents folder, I attempted to
import my personal data from my external hard drive. This created another
proliferation of Documents folders. My folder string looked something like
C:\\UserName\Documents\Documents\Documents\Documents\Personal Folders.
This has happened a couple of times. I'll move my personal folders back
into the main documents folder, and it'll stay that way for a couple of days
before the documents folders proliferate again. I haven't lost anything yet,
but this is getting annoying.
But wait, it gets worse. Somewhere in there the documents link on my start
menu broke. I don't know how it did, but it broke. It is a completely dead
link. I can't figure out how to resurrect it.
So how can I get the documents folder to stop proliferating? And how can I
repair the Documents link on the Start Menu?
