Use Windows Explorer to move the items back where they belong.

Posting images or other binaries is frowned upon in these groups. Perhaps
you can
draw a treeview picture like this:

My Computer
|
+ 3.5" Floppy [A]
- [C:]
|
+ Multimedia
+ Program Files
- Windows
|
- All Users
+ Application Data

and so forth.

I'd like to say I understand your explanation, but I don't. :-) I cannot
tell
where you My Documents folder is, from your description. Save a screen shot
of
Windows Explorer with all the relevant folders expanded to show the
sub-folders,
save it as a .jpg file, and email it to me as an attachment, to:
glee29 @ mindspring dot com

All you need to do, though, is move the "My Documents" folder back to the
root of
C:\. After that, you can re-arrange the other files and folders however you
want
them, wherever you want them.

Not knowing fully who sees what as moderators, did you get the jpegs i
emailed yesterday that you asked me to do? I mailed them once from my
regular isp and they were returned and then i did them from hotmail. The
post below about MS DOS I am a nerd on, so wanted to know first. I also
really don't know what to delete that is not relevant unless it's the folders
that "are not" my documents, sorry to be stupid, but?
thanks

Yes I got the jpg's in your email. I have not been able to do any support
work
today, and have only just now gotten a chance to even look at the email, and
it is
past 11 PM. You seem to have a bit of a mess there, with multiple "My
Documents"
and "My Pictures" folders, some inside each other like a puzzle. For the
most part,
you simply need to move the folders and files around, but since My Documents
is a
"special" folder as far as Windows is concerned, we need to determine where
you
registered personal folders are, so as to find which "My Documents" folders
are
superfluous.

What would help would be to see the contents of this Registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

Click Start Run, copy and paste this line into the box, and click OK:
regedit /e c:\windows\desktop\folders.txt
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders"

That is all one line, with a space between regedit and /e, and between
folders.txt
and the "keyname"

It will create a text file named folders.txt on your desktop. Send me the
text
file, or copy/paste the contents of it into the body of an email, or into a
reply to
this post.
