Posted by Travis Smith on February 6th, 2006


I installed windows server 2003 and i added one of my windows xp to the new
domain home.local. after i restarted my computer i realized the "files
stored on this computer" is missing! That includes the "my documents"
folder AND the shared docs folder.what happened and does anyone know how to
get it back?

Look in C:\Documents and Settings\ for the old username and files.

Travis,

See if you've enabled the "NoSharedDocuments" by chance. Checking the Group
