A. If you deleted the My Documents shortcut from the desktop and want it back just perform the following:
ARTICLE TOOLS
In XP:Right-Click on DesktopSelect 'Properties'Select 'Desktop' tabselect 'Customize Desktop'Ensure 'My Documents' is checked
It only works of the 'show my documents' is there.On my xp setup...it aint.All I did was inadvertainly delete the my document folder on the desktop.ALl other indications of it being around is there.Ie; the location, the start menu ..etc.Currently using a shortcut I created to work.But am wanting to see the fix that brings back it as is, (Relizing that it really is a kind of a shortcut I assume)?
It worked for me. It also added My Documents back to the places bar on the left hand side of the standard File/Open and File/Save dialogs.
This won't work in most cases as the loss of the system shortcut is more difficult to fix
