Somehow "My Documents" is acting strange. One of my kids
deleted it off the desktop and I restored the shortcut,
but when I'm in a program like word or notepad and do a
file-open, My Documents doesn't appear any more in the
left hand side shortcut list that has history/desktop/my
computer etc.

Also when I open explorer.exe "my documents" is at the
bottom of the left hand folder list instead of the top
like it was before.

Somehow I need to restore its old properties, but am at a
loss how to do so.

Thanks!
 
Hi Jake,

Search Windows 2000 Help for the following (with quotes):

"Show My Documents on the Desktop"

Select to display the topic and then follow the steps given, except in step three
instead of clearing the option, click to select it.
