Vista - Missing User directory, Duplicate of User Files

Hi all,

I am running Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite

I had moved my desktop folder and started having some trouble and then noticed duplicate desktop folders. I used the tutorials and got a single desktop folder with the default location as verified in the registry.

There are still some things that seem wrong:

1- If I open the desktop icon properties and click "find target" It opens up to a desktop icon in a directory called "Public Documents". This is a duplicate of my user directory.

2- If I open up explorer to C:/Users I do not see my user name. I have folders for Default, Guest, Public, and Public Documents (the apparent copy of my user directory).

I do see my user name at the top of the directory tree under Desktop. There I have Marc (my user name), Public, Computer, Network, Control Panel, Recycle Bin so this looks good.

At one point I was playing around with file sharing to put this laptop on my home network and I might have created this problem (if it is a problem then).

Can I fix this? Should I fix this?

Thanks for a great forum. You have all been a great help to me already.
