I am using XP Pro SP2. I think I screwed up a "natural"
mechanism by some of my own shenanigans, which I probably
should not have done in the first place.
Situation: My Documents no longer appears on the
desktop. The folder is still there under my account
folder (c:\Documents and Settings\joeu).
Actually, I tried to correct the situation by selecting
Send to \ Desktop. But that creates a shortcut.
Looking at another login ("jane"), I see that My Documents
is not usually a shortcut. There are other subtle
differences between the My Documents shortcut on joeu's
desktop and the "real" My Documents icon on jane's
desktop.
How do I get "joeu's Documents" to behave like "jane's
Documents" again so that My Documents appears on the
desktop when "joeu" logs in?
