why does this *ALWAYS* happen to my documents / shared doc..

Type this command in Start/Run:

rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerUserInit

This fixes the Desktop.ini for the My Documents and it's sub-folders for the
currently logged on user. Run this command under every other user profile
(login). Additionally, to fix the Desktop.ini for the Shared Documents
folder, see:
