Don't ask me what I did but on the Start Menu the Document link is not
associated to my Document folder.

I'm sure it had something to do with having XP and Vista and trying to get
them to use the same Document folder.

When I right click on "Document" I can't do anything and there is not path,
but there is a "Document" folder in Users and my name.

How can I associate it?

TIA.
 
Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserShell Folders

Double-click "Personal" and set its data as:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents
(This is the default path for your Documents folder)

Close Regedit.exe
