Why do I suddenly have multiple DOCUMENTS folders

I built a new computer and installed clean Vista Ultimate 64bit. I had backed up all my documents to an external drive. After installing Office 2007 on the newly rebuilt machine I opened the Documents folder and copied all of my documents back. However, now I have 2 Documents folders, one with only the Desktop.ini in it and the other with ANOTHER Documents folder with all of my documents (basically a DOCUMENTS folder under a top level DOCUMENTS folder).

Why is this happening? How do I fix it so that I only have ONE Documents folder?

Cheers

This might happen when you had restored up your previous documents.... as you had copied the folder again.. the best way is to open the folder and copy only the contents..

I didn't copy the folder. I didn't restore any backup either. I simply copied the subfolders and files from the backup drive back to the new computer "DOCUMENT" folder. Meaning... (as I stated) I copied the documents to the new DOCUMENTS folder.

you do have multiple document folder if you browse to c/users/
there is one for temporary profile/ one for guess/ and one for the current user
is that what you mean..?

Nope. I am viewing my profile only.

Under my profile ONLY. There are 2 DOCUMENT folders (as I mentioned). One DOCUMENT foder contains only a Desktop.ini file. The other DOCUMENT folder contains a subfolder also called DOCUMENT which contains all of my document files and subfolders.

when you click on start and go to documents.. to what folder it default to..

It goes to the one that has the Desktop.ini file only

ok.. delete that document folder with the desktop.ini in it..
Then Go on start> documents on the right hand side> right click on the document > click on properties. target.. see what its showing.. edit it and redirect it to the right target..
You might browse and open that other document first then copy the link on the address bar and paste that there..

huh??
