"Shared documents" Folder Is Displayed As "documents" In Path


Recommended Posts

Posted

I read through many of the other inputs, but some of the links are no longer

active. In the path bar the "Shared documents" shows up in the path bar as

"documents". Initially, the path lead to some confusion when I was trying to

find the missing documents folder that was in the path of file.

Re: "Shared documents" Folder Is Displayed As "documents" In Path

 

Hi Jim,

 

See if this helps and good luck!

 

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and verify this key and values:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\My

Computer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders

 

Sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If this subkey is not

present, you will not have the group: Other files stored on this computer.

 

If you delete this, all of the Shared Documents folders (which are normally

under the group called "Other Files Stored on This Computer") will be gone.

 

You do not need to reboot your system to see the change.

Re: "Shared documents" Folder Is Displayed As "documents" In Path

 

Is this going to dump the Shared documents folder? I just was wondering why

is the shared documents folder being displayed in the path as

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents"

 

Instead of

 

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents"

 

Of course then that begs to ask also about Shared Music displaying as My

Music and Shared pictures displaying as My Pictures and Shared Video as My

Videos.

 

Thanks!
