Two " My Documents " problem

THIS WAS ALSO POSTED IN WINDOWS XP NETWORKING GROUP
Am using Office 2003 & XP, SP2.
I had disconnected from the local area network. When using Word, the My
Documents folder with subfolder having the small blue arrows on the bottom
left of folder icon was no longer accessible. Whata was available was My
Documents with only 2 subfolder, My E-Books and My Music. All other
subfolders were not there. So I looked around and found another My Documents
that didn't have the small blue arrow on each subfolder and retrieved my
files from it. I used thise My Documents for 3 weeks because I was out of the
office.
Upon return to my office and connected to the network, I opened Windows
Explorer. In the left pane there was the Desktop, just below was My Documents
with the blue arrow. Then there's My Computer with subfolders c: (System) and
D: (User Data). Under D: we have a subfolder with my log on user name
(RBT2909) and a subfolder to RBT29029 is My Documents, without the small blue
arrow on each subfolder. I suspect this is the one I was using off line. The
problem is: 1) I am not sure if the now visible My Documents has synchronized
to account for the one I was working with offline, 2) I'm afraid to delete
the My Documents that does not have the blue arrow on it and each of its
subfolders, 3) I lose confidence in the product when a second My Documents is
automatically created, and not automatically removed when I reconnect to the
network. Can you help?
