I have this in my event log:

The user stabro, has decided to prevent a change to the user's defined shell
folders from Personal to \\queen\%UserName%\Personlig mapp.

About User Shell Folders: Shell folders are special folders that Windows
uses to indicate the default location for many types of settings and data.
These special folders are usually the more commonly used system folders such
as My Documents, My Pictures, your Program Files folders and a number of
other standard Windows folders.

How do I remove it so I don't block it anymore?

Hmm - that's where it should have been, to be reversable. I have to
say--this issue has been posted before a number of times, and I don't have a
resolution for it--i.e. most posts just say that this action is being
blocked--and I've never seen any post showing where to find it to reverse
it. I wonder whether you should right-click on the My Documents folder on
the desktop or in the start menu, and re-establish the correct mapping?

I experienced a similar problem. I found that if you if you click on REAL
TIME PROTECTION you will have a window w/ several links available to you.
Select the link that says SYSTEM AGENTS. In the middle of the screen under
the column that reads System Agent Checkpoints you'll want to scroll down
till you find USER SHELL FOLDERS. click on that to highlight only. On the
right side you will see where you can deactivate this agent all together or
or edit what's been blocked. In order for the changes to take effect you must
be logged in your computer as a Administrator. I don't know if you deactivate
the that particular agent will reverse the changes, but it'd worth a
shot....Good luck!
 
I agree.

You may also find that there are bugs associated with the ability to
de-activate and reactivate such checkpoints.

If you experience trouble activating a previously deactivated checkpoint,
use the update process available at start, control panel, add or remove
programs, Microsoft Antispyware, change, update.
