Using winxp home ed. I had 2 folders in my computer, shared documents and owner. I didn't use either so I used the regedit I found and deleted the delegated folder {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} I'm trying to now add the my documents folder in my computer. The address is C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents I want the actual folder to say "my documents" in my computer. I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone help?

If you want to rename My Documents folder open Regedit and make new subkey under CLSID [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}] @="Any name to name your documents folder" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\DefaultIcon] @=hex(2): "Default"="the path to the new icon if you want to change the icon for My Documents"

Ok, what does the @ symbol mean? I can copy that part but where do I put the name of the folder? Is there anyway to remove just the shared folder and not the owner folder from my computer?
