I prefer anonymity!

I did a defrag yesterday (took all night, growl) and since then My Documents
no longer appears under My Computer. All of the files seem to be fine, and
you can still access from the desktop and from other shortcuts...

Tried searching Help and Support and the messageboards and couldn't find
anything.

It's not THAT urgent (I hope) since I can still access all of my files...
Just worried that it could cause complications in the future.

Thanks (in advance)!

Click to expand...

- Close "My Computer"...
- Download/Install/Run Microsoft's TweakUI...
(
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe )
- Left menu --> Select "My Computer"
- Right-side --> "cycle" the "Files Stored on This Computer" checkbox
where it is checked/unchecked at least once each and ends up on checked.
(In other words, if it is unchecked when you get there, check it, hit apply,
uncheck it, hit apply, check it and hit apply again. If it is checked when
you get there, uncheck it, hit apply, check it, hit apply again.)
- Click OK.
- Open "My Computer"...

Did that fix your issue?
 
Where is My Documents no longer displayed?
