Uhhh you might be confused what I'm talking about.
If you open up my computer you CANNOT add folders to that thing like that.

I have my computer set up as if you would right click in that window and go arrange icons by> show in groups.

Well with it like that I should have Hared Documents and Razielian's Documents under FILES STORED ON THIS COMPUTER..

But just yesterday I lost my documents folder..

1st check the Recycle Bin.
Then, do a search or browse for :

C:\Documents and Settings\Razielian\My Documents

If you find it there, but can't view it from Windows Explorer, then I suspect the registry is mussed, and needs a restore.


Also, be sure from the menu bar...
View, Go To> , is set to My Computer .

Yeah.. I found the folder.. I mean the folder and all its contents are still there I just want do get it so if I click on my computer it would show next to shared documents like before.
There has to be a line I can type somewhere or add a shortcut... Hmm I just dunoo... :confused:

another thing.. I took that razielian documents folder and copied and pasted where it would possibly show up there but no go...

Once it's located where you want it, right-click it and share.

I think I know what you did. Did you install TweakXP or similar to "optimize" your PC? If so, you probably turned it off yourself - like I did:

You will have to reverse that process if you want them back.
