| | Special folder "Documents" missing after Vista install. Hi, I upgraded from XP Home to Vista Ultimate today. Everything works except for one thing: There's no "Documents" folder in my user account, and all the files that used to be in "My Documents" on XP are stored twice in two directories called C:\$WINDOWS.~Q and C:\$INPLACE.~TR. Initially I freaked out since all my documents seemed to be gone, but then I found them in these folders. How do I create the special "Documents" folder in Vista? I remember in XP I could use TweakXP to create special folders, but for Vista I have no clue, so help would be greatly appreciated. -- //ceed |

| | Re: Special folder "Documents" missing after Vista install. If a Documents folder doesn't exist, type "shell ersonal" (withoutquotation marks) in the Start Search box of the Start Menu, and press Enter on your keyboard. A new Documents folder will be created, with the appropriate (hidden, system) desktop.ini file inside it (which enables the special icon). The default location for the folder is C:\Users\(Your Name)\Documents.
