See photo; For some reason now, document folders are no longer showing up
in the start menu (or other areas of explorer) as the "username Documents"
but as you can see all show up as "My Documents" and shared documents
simply comes up as "Documents".

Is there a fix?

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:

Would this command also make it possible for me to create new folders whose
filenames would appear directly under My Computer in the Windows Explorer
hierarchy?

Open "Explorer" » select the drive » click "file" go to "new" » click
"folder".

When you select My Computer, directly under which I seek to create new
folders, then click "File," the option "New" does not present itself. That
option only appears at lower levels of the Windows Explorer hierarchy.
