Somewhere is a simple checkmark to enable or disable the MyDocuments folder in Mycomputer.
I forget where it is at the moment, but if I remember I will post it... |

Actually, the setting is in TweakUI for XP.
You can go to Microsofts site and download TweakUI for XP from thier PowerTools page. TweakUI has a section for MyComputer that will allow you to customize this. (You may be able to do it without TweakUI, but I never do, and cant recall where the option might be) |

what about on the desktop? You still have its functionality, so until you cannot access the documents folder, it would work temporarily...
