82508 2002-09-25 11:02:00 Thanks for the help everyone. I've been trying to fix this for 2 weeks, and with all the things that I've tried I will probably muck something else up before long. I'm sure its a registry thing but I don't have enough knowledge to check anything, so if anyone has any suggestions as to what to look for I can do that. I know how to back up & restore the registry & I can make registry changes as long as the instructions are clear. One again thanks everyone.

82509 2002-09-25 11:16:00 Ian, try the following...

Start | Run
in the run box type in regsvr32 mydocs.dll and click OK. When that has completed reboot your computer.

(If that doesn't work I have maybe one/two more (last) suggestions)

Somewhere along the way the registry pointer for mydocs was either corrupted or removed. Regsvr32 is a program that you use to register dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and ActiveX controls in the registry. So effectively we put the information back into the registry regarding mydocs linkage (My Documents).
