Hi, i'm new here and i seem to be having a problem with My Computer. First off, though, i'd like to apologize if i missed any topics about the same issue. So, until very recently i had a My documents folder in the My computer folder (which contains all the Local Disk stuff).
About 30 minutes ago it disapeared, maybe caused by an action of mine but i certainly do not remember doing anything to the folder. I had just installed and then de-installed Google Chrome then waited abit and when i tried to look for My documents it wasnt there. I can still access it through C: documents and Settings..../My documents and the shortcut is still in the start menu and i can also put it on the dektop. Also, on all other users on my computer the my documents folder is still there. I've searched google but still cant find a solution that works.
Heres a picture of what i mean, my documents whould be right in the black box thing there:

Thanks

Hello and welcome to PCHelpForum.
Have you tried a system restore to before you installed Google Chrome?

I dont think ive made a system restore for awhile, will it change all the files that I've created since then such as files in C: and My Documents?

Just do it to before you installed chrome.It will make slight changes if you made changes in the past say few days.

You can create a restore point while you are doing system restore,there will be darker dates you can choose from.Check to see if you can choose one to a few days ago.
