How does TweakUI populate My Computer Icons tab? I have different users with
different sets of availible icons on that tab....Might be able to fix another
problem....

One user displays: Control Panel & Files Stored on This Computer

Another user displays: Control Panel (only!)

TIA
 
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and verify this key and values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\My
Computer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders

Sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If this subkey is not
present, you will not have the group: Other files stored on this computer.

Other than that, if you are using TweakUI check your settings under - My
Computer/Files stored on this computer. And/or run the edit on line 56:

Added info:

To get an account's My Documents folder to appear in Windows Explorer (Files
stored on this computer), add/edit a key in the DocFolderPaths branch like
so:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths]
"user"="C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents"

In the right pane, right click and choose New/String Value. Give it the
name of the user. Double click the name once added and type in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents

Thanks for responding....but...

All is set (always has been) as you listed...In TweakUI I only lists a
single checkbox for the control panel and NO checkbox for the "Files Stored
on this Computer" at all....

This is just for my NON administrator profiles...
