My Documents Folder ???

I'm not sure this answers your question, but if you are looking to have the "My Documents" folder on your desktop, you can right click on the desktop in a blank area and choose properties.  Then click on the desktop tab.  Click the Customize Desktop button.

There you can put a check next to the "My Documents" and the icon will show up on your desktop.

Hello all,

 

Concerning my XP Home SP1 computer:

 

On my desktop I have a shortcut to the My Documents folder.  I don't see the original My Documents Folder. Is this original folder supposed to be on the desktop or some where else?

 

I searched for it and found it in two locations but Windows won't allow me to move it to the desktop from one of the locations?  The other location it's at I don't know if I should move it or not.

 

My Documents does not belong on the desktop, just a shortcut to it.  There is no reason to move it...

That's what I was looking for thanks. Ok now if I should delete the My Documents folder from the desktop does that mean it's history from Windows, can it be rebuilt.

 

Thanks all..............

It's a SHORTCUT.  It points towards where the My Documents folder actually is, nothing more.
