Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / June 2007Documents folder
Hi, I was attempting to move the Documents folder to another partition of my hard drive when I lost it and can't restore it from the recycle bin - is there any way I can get it back? It was empty so not worrying about it's contents, just need to have it restored as it was originally. All advice welcome! Regards, Chris Neill. Chris If you have Vista Business or Ultimate, you can use the Previous Versions features to get that folder back. Navigate to C:\Users\Username. Right click your username and select Properties/Previous Versions Tab. Select the latest version of the folder and click the Restore Button.

Thanks but I have Home Premium edition and just cannot work out how I might get the system to create another Documents folder even if it can't restore the original one. Cheers, Chris > Chris > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Chris Neill. In the Start Search box on the Start Menu, type "shell:personal" (no quotation marks), and press Enter on your keyboard. This will open the Documents folder as it is assigned, location-wise, in your registry. If it is not where you want it, right-click an empty spot in the Documents folder, choose Properties, and go to the Location tab to move it. > Thanks but I have Home Premium edition and just cannot work out how I > might [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> > >> > Chris Neill. Chris Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users\Username. (Where Username is the name of the account you are logged on with) Right click in the right side pane of this folder and select New/Folder. Name the new folder Documents. Open Notepad and Copy/Paste the text between the lines into Notepad. ----------------------------- [.ShellClassInfo] IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112 IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll IconIndex=-235 -------------------------------- Click File/Save As and save the file to the new documents folder that you just created. Right click the new new Documents folder and select Properties/Customize Tab. In the top section, click the drop down menu and select Documents there. Click Apply/OK. Close and re-open Windows Explorer. The new documents folder should be there as it was before you lost it.
