Hi,

When I click on My computer.. I see my My Drives.. C: D: E: Etc. and also I can see Shared Documents folder but I can't see My (name) Documents Folder!!!! It has gone??
I can see the other logon on this computer's (Name) Documents so where has mine gone and how can i get it back? And why would it have gone?

I can get to my documents via C: drive etc. but thats the long way round

Thanks in Advance

Could be a tweakUI setting.
It has options for hiding and showing certain documents folders in my computer.
Even if it's already ticked maybe unticking, applying, then reticking might work.

Oh good glad its sorted that TweakXp site is good , not updated anymore but still a wealth of info . Kellys corner is a good bookmark too for other problems.

Bloody Windows tho 3 ways to fix something , always makes me shake my head . :dry:

what happened to tweakxp, it is still as you say a great source but why did it die

?

It could have gone supreme. I met one person who said they stole stuff witjout respecting the creators

I don't know 100 % over the last two years or so . Guess you could say I stole too . But speaking as a file sharer I like to link to the source out of respect ?

Don't kid yourself tho its all about the Benjamins nothing more nothing less .

no i ment, that "they" the tweakxp admin stole tweaks from their members without giving them credit, hence most of the vital members left.
