My Documents folder
No!
Right click the desktop. Select New *Shortcut* - not folder.

My Documents folder
But answering Yes to the original dialog would accomplish the same thing.

My Documents folder
Not really. It would create a further folder rather than a shortcut to the
original. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Yes he did, but they will not be synched using your method.
The "real" one on the desk top is synched with the one at C:\ in Win 98. It is also synched in later version of Windows, although the path is far more complex and there may be more than one, profile dependent. "MikeR" wrote: Graham Mayor wrote: No!
