Will XP Repair Install delete My Documents and other user created files

Hi friends,
I just wanted to know if a Repair Install of Windows XP would remove My Documents folder and any other user created files. I believe that only Windows updates and SP's would have to be reinstalled.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks and Regards
Gautam

Cool

They released a update to that update. I repaired mine not long after that and after downloading updates everything was fine.
