Go to start/.../run and type the command:
%userprofile%
This is the path used by the system to put documents in your profile
folders. You will find the the "My Documents" folder is 'access denied', and
'Documents' is available. This 'mirror' makes your system more secure.
(albeit less 'backward compatible' with previously written software)
