More info?)
I've been working on this for a couple of weeks, to no
avail. One suggestion posted on this site (see 25August
post)is the download from
www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_mydocsopens.htm. When
the "script" warning appears, the responder advises to
just accept. Not knowing the true risk of this, I still
haven't fixed the problem. "My Documents" continues to
open. Perhaps we'll get an answer from your post.
