How can I recreate personal folders ?

Hi Warren,

Ooops. This tutorial may be able to help you. Check to make sure that
the missing user folders have the default location set for them in the
registry and restart the computer to restore them.

Hope this helps,

Excellent reference document Shawn, thank you. Since I posted I decided to
look in the recycle bin and guess what I found. I simply restored them and
everything is okay.

Excellent article, though, I will print it and save

Thank you very much

Hey Shawn,

I'm new to Vista. I also had some major issues with the personal
folders. By default they are on C:\ drive, and i wanted to move the
essentials like music, videos, pictures, downloads, documents, contacts
etc to my E:\ which is used for storage. Now when i first moved the
downloads, the icon screwed up, So i thought I'd restore default and
then for some reason my downloads folder became my documents folder. I
had similar problems with every other folder and now I have lost my
video folder, I have lost my downloads, and now have 2 documents folders
which are (indestructable and linked together at the same time) 2
picture folders with the same problem, and the rest are fine but had
trouble listening to me as well. I read your article about trying
shell:command and also opening the regedit. Still no luck. Please help,
I'm snagged.

Joronamo.

Hello Joronamo,

For your *Documents* folder, it sounds like you have a program that
places a folder inside of the original location causing you to have two
now instead. For your *Downloads* folder, it sounds like you may have
set something wrong or dragged it into another folder by mistake.

I would recommend using Option Two in this tutorial below to restore
all of your user folders back to their default locations. After
finishing the tutorial, delete any extra folders left.

Excellent reference article Shawn.

Since posting my problem I found the missing personal folders in the recycle
bin, restored and problem solved.

LOL oops,

Warren, I'm happy to hear that you have sorted it out and got them back
without having to do to much work with it.
