download Tweak UI Powertoys, there is an option for hiding/unhiding of documents in My Computer

[dheeraj_kumar]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSharedDocuments"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Copy paste the above into notepad, save it as a .reg file, and right click, merge. Restart if needed. If it doesnt work, try changing the 1s to 0s and try again.

If nothing works, you can use system restore to restore your computer to a date when the problem wasn't there

hello asnvin, thanks for your support but as i've already metion that i had disabled the system restore. i've no earlier restore point..!!
any other way...
as i got into the problem using registry. there must be some solution for this in it.??!!
what do you think...???!!

^^The folder hasn't gone anywhere. It has just hidden. So you can still access it from the desktop shortcut. If you are not having it , go to Desktop properties(right click), then to Desktop Tab>Customize desktop button and here click on checkbox next to My Documents. To make it visible in MyComputer, you have to tweak registry.

here's the solution

install this --> http://rapidshare.com/files/119724517/TweakUi.zip.html

and open it

click My Computer on the side

click the radio button Files stored on This Computer

works 100%
