Documents Folder in Windows Explorer

[Jeremy]

There is an odd folder all by its lonesome self in Windows Explorer. It has no subfolders and is empty and also cannot be deleted. Anyone know where this thing came from and how I can get rid of it?

[MCT]

try doing it by batch file?

taskkill.exe /f /im explorer.exe

del /S /Q "path to file"

explorer

[Jeremy]

I discovered that it is a duplicate folder leading to the same directory "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\" which says that it cannot be deleted due to being a system folder. Pffft...

[MCT]

use something like bartpe & delete it

[Jeremy]

BartPE?

read-up about BartPE, and download from here. But that may not be what you need.

Jeremy, I think you are seeing the shared documents there. Apply these regtweaks to get rid of it.

; Remove Shared Documents in My Computer view
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSharedDocuments"=dword:00000001

;Remove Shared Documents from My Computer
;[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}]

Thanks, I used the second tweak and the folder is gone.
