i just found out that my 'Shared Documents' folder has
changed its name to just 'Documents'.
and i no longer can access this folder.
when i click on it, a windows popup saying this...

c:\documents and settings\all users\documents in not
accessible.
access is denied.

i am logged on with administrative right.
also, i can still see the documents inside this shared
documents folder through the network.

does anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it?

thx a lot.
