Is it a folder you are trying to open or a shortcut? Were on the start menu are you trying to open this document?
Are you single clicking or double clicking?
My start menu looks like this:
Admin
Documents(I click on it once) nothing.
Pictures
Music
Games
___________
Computer
Network
Connect To
___________
Control Panel
Default Programs
Help and Support


Hi Bennys,
It sounds like your Documents folder may not have the correct location set for it. Double check with Option Two in this tutorial to make sure that the Documents (Personal in registry) folder as the default location %USERPROFILE%\Documents .
Personal User Folder - Restore Missing Folder
Hope this helps,
Shawn
I tried option 2 but there is nothing in the right pane. It is a completely different screen than the one shown. On the left panel, there are a bunch of programs that only a computer programmer could understand. There are no Microsoft stuff in it especially HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.


That's strange Bennys. Can you post a screenshot of this to help see what may be wrong with it?
How do I post a screen shot?


Sorry...second attemp:

Bennys, you're in the wrong place here. You need to click the small [+] buttons next to the labels on the left to expand them to the correct location.
Start by expanding the "HK_CURRENT_USER" section, then expand the "Software" section, then "Microsoft", etc, according to this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.
Eventually, the 'Shell Folders' part will show. Click ONCE on the "Shell Folders" section. A list of entries should appear on the right side of the screen. If you can take a screenshot of that list and post it on here, that would be helpful.
