"Shared Documents" not "Shared" any more!?
Posted by Nelson B on September 25th, 2005


On one of my WinXP computers, "Shared Documents" has become "Documents".
I want its name to go back to "Shared Documents".

After reading postings in this newsgroup, I see lots of other folks have
had the same problem, and several suggestions are commonly given to solve it.
I already checked and verified these things:

1) the directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
is marked read-only

2) The desktop.ini file in that directory contains these lines:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@shell32.dll,-21785

3) in my registry,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\My
Computer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}
is right where it belongs.

Anyone have any other clues?
