    My documents messed up, need help finding registry values!!

    Okay, this is the situation, il keep it short.

    I changed the target path for my documents on the start menu ( location
    tab )
    Tried doing it again..and the location tab is gone.

    Not only that but when navigating through the hard drive..

    C:\Users\Respawns\Desktop

    It now says..

    C:\Users\Documents\Desktop

    Now i cant install programs because the Application data tmp folder
    isnt where the programs think it is..its called Documents now instead of
    Respawns..

    But i still login as Respawns!

    I've taken ownership of everything btw.
    I AM THE ADMIN.

    Just need to find the registry path for the start menu and change it
    through there.

    Thanks in advance guys i cant do anything ive just done a clean install
    and cant use any programs so please help!

    Hi Respawns,

    Option 1: Use the REG file here to reset the path for Documents/Picture/Music folders:
    http://www.winhelponline.com/article...tart-menu.html

    -or-

    Option 2:

    You can change the Documents path in the registry. See Method 2 here:
    http://www.winhelponline.com/article...ows-Vista.html
    (Fix the value data for "Personal".)
