folders. I mean exactly. It is like 2 folders holding the exact sam
files. Delete something in one it deletes in other. How do I get rid o
one of them?

Hello Henry

Double check to make sure that you have the default location set fo
the Documents folder in the registry (folder named "Personal" i
registry) with OPTION THREE in the tutorial below.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...ing-folder.htm

Afterwards, copy the contents of the folder to the desktop as a backup
delete both Document folders, type "shell:Personal" in the Start men
search line and press Enter, restart the computer twice, then the folde
should be back to one. Now copy the backup contents back into th
folder

Hope this helps
Shaw
