If you just did this, you might want to try a System Restore first.
Otherwise:

If a Documents folder doesn't exist, type in the Search box - shellersonal
[enter]

A new Documents folder will be created, with the hidden system desktop.ini
file inside it (which enables the special icon). The default location for
the folder is C:\Users\(Username)\Documents.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]
"Personal"="C:\\Users\\YourName\\Documents" (Make sure you have the string
value "Personal")
