No folder listing under My documents

Question

My documents does not list the names of the folders created within. I have a great deal of images organized for business and in all other subfolders there is a name for each folder with the exception of My Documents. When you open up My Documents all the thumbnails have no name. I have looked everywhere to see if there is some reason for the disappearance. If anyone knows the answer to this...I am willing to accept my ignornace of the matter. It seems insignificant unless you were trying to organize photos into folders allready in my documents. Thanks so much for the help.

Like I said...I need them to be thumbnails so that I can organize the image within my documents. If it is in anything other than ...I cannot see the images.

it has been like this for a long time. The machine seems to be in good shape with this one exception. I always just overlooked it and now it has gotten out of control and I need to fix the problem. This only happens in my documents and not in the subfolders of my documents. All the folders in my documents are description free and I cannot find a way for them to show.

you are missing the point. I can get thumbnails just fine but nothing reads under them in terms of their description description. Folders created in my documents do not have a name or description. It only happens in thumbnails which is where I need the description so I can vsually organize them.

No matter what view I put on mine, the description is always there so it may be that your folder is corrupt.  What happened to cause this change?  Have you tried a System Restore?
