"Documents" folder hidden
I moved “Documents” and “Downloads” to another partition using Location|
Move, etc. Before doing these 2 moves, I created 2 new folders on the new partition named “Documents” and “Downloads”. My problem is that after the moves (I said Yes to move all files) the Documents folder on the new partition disappeared, i.e. it became a hidden system file while the “Downloads” folder changed on the new partition to a green folder with all the files in it. If I then do a file open in Word 2003, the “My Places” pane on the left pane of the dialog box no longer includes a green documents folder. Instead, it has a manila folder named “My Documents”. If I select it and then “Add it” to “my places” a correct Green documents folder shows up, however, I cannot then remove the manila “My documents” folder. Can someone help me get the “documents” folder working properly? I have tried restoring defaults and doing it again but with no luck. |
