Presuming that you are not saving your documents and spreadsheets in the IE
History folder, my guess is that you are using some third party utility that is screwing around with your system. Do you have one of these Tweak utilities for clearing histories or maybe a file cleaner like CClean? -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Fritz" wrote in message ...

Terry, no I save my documents to my document folder. I have been running
SecureIT and have been having some problems with them. I know they run an antivirus, spyware, adware, disk keeper and possably some other stuff. Do you think this could be causing it?

Terry, I may be wrong about not storing my docs in the History folder. When I
open history I find a folder named My Computer and those docs are in this folder. I bet that is the problem. If so how do I fix it? Sorry about missing this before my last post.

That would be the problem. This is strange because My Documents is a Windows
Folder and is hard programmed so that it cannot be deleted or moved. My Documents should be the user profile under Documents and Settings, Username. Check to see if you can find the real My Documents and then copy the contents from the one in the History Folder to the correct one. If that now looks correct, delete the My Documents Folder from the IE folder. Terry "Fritz" wrote in message ... Terry, I may be wrong about not storing my docs in the History folder.

Terry, it sounds like the following link describes the problem but I don't
understand how to fix it. Article ID : 897169 I am riunning IE 6, would installing IE 7 take care of the problem? Or how about using the restore feature? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897169/en-us Fred "Terry Farrell" wrote: That would be the problem.

Sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions. You may get a better
qualified answer from the Windows.IE newsgroup. Terry "Fritz" wrote in message ... Terry, it sounds like the following link describes the problem but I don't understand how to fix it.
