how to display My Documents in My Computer

[nbk]

I've made an windows xp installation recently and unchecked the "don't show shared documents in My Computer" or something like this...

Now I don't have even My Documents under My Computers which is pretty annoying.

Can someone help me out with registy settings?

Navigate to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

and delete NoSharedDocuments DWORD value.

hmm. unfortunately thre's no NoSharedDocuments value at all. Strange. But it's not about shared documents, i don't even have My Documents under My Computer. Maybe some other suggesstions?

I know this is a little late but I just had a similar problem where I couldn't see my documents folders in my computer.

Go to this key and see if there are any strings with your user account name and the path to the correct my documents folder. If there isn't, just create a new string per user account. Oh yeah, you don't have to put the 's at the end of the name in the new string. The computer will do that for you. Ex. just put Tom instead of Tom's

here's the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths
