Help me get MY DOCUMENTS back in the correct area!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was doing a backup of my documents to an external hardrive ( which I have
done before with no problems)....

After completing this, I went to write an emial and add an attachment from
MY DOCUMENTS:

Well, My documents is NOT there in the list with my desktop and my computer
and I have no way of putting it back in THAT LIST...

However, If I go to the WINDOWS Start page, MY documents IS listed and all
my documents are there...

HOW can I put My Documents back in the LIST with my desktop etc so when I
want to add an attachment to an email, I am allowed to do so...

PLEASE HELP!!!

Andy

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please
don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less*
help, not more. See this for why:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting

If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use
Google Groups Advanced Search and search for your name.

If you have further questions about this subject for me, please post
them in your original thread; I won't be monitoring this one.

SORRY for the cross posting but I had NO idea which area to put it in to get
an answer..BY the way, I fixxed it but have no idea what I did except go into
my document folders.....I rightKB941229 clicked on the listing of all the
items that were on the favorites list ( as if I were going to insert and
attachment) and it was there when I right clicked the area...so I fixxed it
myself...nothing else posted made any sense to me as I had no idea what you
all were talking about..

No, you are missing Malke's point. You did *not* crosspost. If you had
crossposted, that would have been fine. What you did was multipost,
and that's always a bad thing to do.

Please do not send the same message separately to more than one
newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread,
so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers
from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message
multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you
correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets
you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

To crosspost, you address a single message to multiple groups, rather
than multiple messages to one group each, as you did.
