I am having the issue, where, I have 2 folders called "My Documents". I recently edited my registry to make "Document" link in the Windows 7 start menu be a FOLDER link and not a LIBRARY link..

Here is the Registry Key information for the Documents key:

Key Name:          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{7b0db17d-9cd2-4a93-9733-46cc89022e7c}
Class Name:        <NO CLASS>
Last Write Time:   3/2/2011 - 2:33 AM
Value 0
  Name:            Attributes
  Type:            REG_DWORD
  Data:            0x1

  Name:            Category
  Type:            REG_DWORD

  Data:            Documents

Value 8
  Name:            Roamable
  Type:            REG_DWORD
  Data:            0x1

Also, Navigating through computer to "C:\Users\Flasimbufasa\" Only shows one folder called "Documents"

However, whenever I navigate to user profile from "Desktop\Flasimbufasa" I get 2 Document folders.

Any help?
