longer see the file 'james's documents' .this is the same case for all
users.i can still access this folder via my documents or by searching through
the hard drive. i have not set this folder to private. how can i restore this
folder in the 'my computer' view. i have tried system restore which worked
however it messed up other settings so this is not really an option. any help
would be much appreciated.
