I don't care for the way Vista Windows Explorer sometimes displays
"Public Documents", and other times it's just "Documents" (possibly over
a network). I never know if I should look in the D's or the P's for the
folder. I have to look both places. Is there a way to stop this
inconsistency and just always display what the folder actually is?

I'm not sure what you are saying as there are two folders. One is "Documents"
that is your user place to store and "Public Documents" that is part of the
Public folder where sharing files, etc. is possible if desired.

Sorry I wasn't clear. There exists folder:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\

but in Windows Explorer, in the left tree pane, it says the folder is
"Public Documents", and the breadcrumb at the top says:

Public -> Public Documents ->

But if I click in that top field the breadcrumb turns into:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\

(I store everything under Public so I can access it from other computers
on my home network. I only put stuff under C:\Users\David\... if it's
specific to that particular computer.)

I see what you mean now, but the only time I see the
C:\Users\Public\Documents is if I click on the address field, which I rarely
do, or look at a path in the command prompt so it has never been a problem.
