775737 2009-05-21 18:57:00 I currently cannot log off of my XP computer because it says that my profile size is too large. After some research, I found out that this should only include files in the application data folder. However, when I click on the red circle with the white x in it, it lists all of the files in My Documnets, including all of my music and pictures.

How can I unlink the My Documents folder from the profile? I don't know how it got linked. I did not change anything and it just became a problem today.
