    My shortcut to my documents on my desktop has disappered and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I have tryed copying the my documents folder under my user name and it works until my desktop refreshes.

    What happens when you right click on the DeskTop and select New->Shortcut and then create a new shortcut to My Docs?

    My Docs on Desktop

    Have you looked to see if the default setting is still checked?

    In Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View, Advanced settings: window, "Show My Documents on the Desktop" needs to be checked.
