You probaly created a shortcut to My Documents. So when you deleted it, the shortcut pointed to nowhere.

Ya know, you don't HAVE to save stuff you download to My Documents. ;)

He right just make a shortcut from the C drive document folder to your desktop. This will work fine. Plus as of now once you download Internet 6.0 your stuck with it, It explain this in it's readme file. Thier is no uninstall for it yet. GoodLuck. Your only other option would be to reformat and reinstall your os. ;)

what your documents are located in C:\Documents and Settings\(User name)\My Documents

or in 9x

C:\WINDOWS\PROFILES\(your user name)\My Documents

( i might have the 9x one wrong, if i am someone please correct me)

go open a folder (not internet explorer), go to tools, then to folder options, go to view, and check ,show my documents in desktop, this may not be the answer you are looking for though
