As title basically, GF has logged onto her laptop and the icon for My Documents has gone from My Computer.

The folder still physically exists on the HDD, just that there is now no link to access it. Any ideas on how to restore it? (XP Pro SP2)

Ta :)
 
Can you right click your desktop and click properties, select the desktop tab, then click customize desktop and verify there's a checkbox next to my docs?
 
Yes, it appears fine on the desktop. Its just the link from My Computer that has vanished.

Did a bit of reading up and it looks like a reg entry has screwed up, and sounds more hassle to fix than its worth (unless anyone knows an easier way).
 
maybee try a system restore if you know when it happened if not then u could create a shortcut in the my compuetr bit from C: documents and settings

First thing I tried, for some reason there were no restore points to select from.

Its no biggie, just a bit of an annoyance. Like I said I think its a registry issue, just cant be bothered to go through the seemeingly long-winded procedure of getting it back.
