Missing User directory, Duplicate of User Files

Hi all

I am running Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellit

I had moved my desktop folder and started having some trouble and the
noticed duplicate desktop folders. I used the tutorials and got
single desktop folder with the default location as verified in th
registry

There are still some things that seem wrong

1- If I open the desktop icon properties and click "find target" I
opens up to a desktop icon in a directory called "Public Documents".
This is a duplicate of my user directory

2- If I open up explorer to C:/Users I do not see my user name. I hav
folders for Default, Guest, Public, and Public Documents (the apparen
copy of my user directory).

I do see my user name at the top of the directory tree under Desktop.
There I have Marc (my user name), Public, Computer, Network, Contro
Panel, Recycle Bin so this looks good

At one point I was playing around with file sharing to put this lapto
on my home network and I might have created this problem (if it is
problem then)

Can I fix this? Should I fix this

Thanks for a great forum. You have all been a great help to m
already

Mar
