I am having some problem with my pc. I cannot access My Documents, whether from my user or other users on the pc. I have XP Home.
Whenever i click on my documents it says:

The My Documents folder could not be found. Right-click the My Documents icon, click Properties, and then check the path to your target folder is correct.

and i have checked and double checked that that path is correct.

I did however install Easy File & Folder Protecter 3.9
to hide My Documents from the other users only...it worked fine, untill yesterday...System Restore doesnt work for me, so thats another bummer. I am going to format my pc this week, but i dont want to lose my files...

I appreciate any help
thanks

uninstall that software
check again
go through the C:\Documents and Settings\$username$ direct path and see whats there
check Hidden file/folders just in case

If you have NTFS file system on the main partition, log in as administrator and check if you can see the documents folder for your user name. Check in Properties, Security, and change the user rights for the user (a folder can have access locked for everyone but one user, unlocked for everyone or read only for some users). Check the files and folders permissions. If it is needed, "take ownership" of the folder while logged in as administrator and then set access to everyone
