Create a new, temporary, folder called Docs on your C: drive.

Install TweakUI.
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...US/Tweakui.exe

Open TweakUI and go to the 'My Computer' tab.
Under 'Special Folders' choose 'My Documents' in the drop-down.
Press 'Change Location' and point to the C:\Docs folder.
Log out and back in, or reboot.

Create a new 'My Documents' folder and do the
same again in TweakUI, pointing it back to the
new 'My Documents' folder.

The "My Documents" folder appeared corrupted. I found out later there were
some hidden files. Spyware?? Anyway I made a big mistake and deleted the
folder thinking I could create a new one. It will not create a new folder
message reads there is already a folder with that name. I can't retrieve it
from any of the utilities with windows or Norton System Works.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.....
