I tried this Keith but it did not seem to fix the problem - I still get an
error mesage saying it can't access the folder (Documents). When I ran the
rundll32 program it not seem to do anything.

In the Start Search box, type 'regeditenter' to open the Registry Editor

Navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]

In the right-hand pane, edit the value named 'Personal', changing its data
to:

'%USERPROFILE%\Documents'

Open the 'Run...' dialog via the Start Menu or WinKey+R and paste the
following command:

rundll32 mydocs,PerUserInit

That should recreate the folder, special icon & all.

I cannot connect to the PC where I had my Documents folder - so I need to
reset the documents folder back to its original location on my PC - but
becuase I can no longer access the current location for the Documents
folder
I can't access that folder in order to change its location - can anyone
help?
i.e. how can I restore the default location for the Documents folder when
I
can no longer access that folder?
Thanks
