Default Shared folders & all roads now lead to My Documents rather than Ro

I posted a networking problem I'm having in the wireless networking group
(Shared but access denied) but this is a related issue which I feel best
belongs here.

I have My Documents named as Documents on my data partition (F). Through
trying to troubleshoot my networking shared folders predicament I've come
across a weird path confusion problem - whenever I try and open a back-up of
my Documents folder on another disk I get routed back to the F/Documents
folder.

- I created a 'Docs' folder to see if I could transfer files to it and hope
that folder would be shareable. I transferred my data into that folder only
to find I couldn't access it! I kept being routed to Documents on the F
partition (F/Documents), which was now empty....

- I backed up Docs onto a DVD (Nero saw the Docs folder and its content
properly).

- The DVD was successfully created but when I open the drive I/Docs I get
F/Documents, not I/Docs and not even F/Docs.

- My previously created back-up on an external HDD using Dantz Retrospect
also goes to F/Documents rather than the proper path, K/Retrospect etc..

The only way I can get round this is to logon as administrator in safe mode.
I opened F/Docs and transferred back all the data to F/Documents - and
they're there, again!

However, I'm left with not being able to access back-ups as I'm constantly
having the F/Documents folder added.

Why should this happen? How can I fix it?

Thanks.

Steve
