My Documents dissapeared!

[ander]

I just reinstalled Win2K on my machine and My Documents seems to have dissappeared. It is no longer on my desktop, I don't get a button for it when I open/save files, and when I want to access the My Documents folder, I have to go C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents...

what happened?!

sorry... my dog ate it.

did you originally upgrade to win2k and now you have reformatted and installed win2k fresh?

Win2k, when upgraded, keeps My Documents in the normal spot. If you reinstall it, My Documents gets moved to under the profile, similar to Windows NT.

Go to Tools menu -> Folder options from explorer
Then go to the view tab and near the bottom there is an option to show my documents on desktop.
