Unable to move or rename systems folders

Hi,

I am using Windows XP and have a number of different tuser accounts set up
on my home PC. It appears as though some System folders have been moved and
I am unable to move them back to their original location or rename them. The
folders in question are My Music, My Pictures and My Videos.

When I log on as "User A" and go to My Documents the above folders are not
there, but when I go to Shared Documents they are listed there as My Music,
My Pictures and My Videos.

However when I logon as "User B", "C" or "D" and go to My Docuements for
each of them, their folders are listed corrcectly, but when I go to Shared
Documents the folders listed are - User A's Music, User A's Pictures and
User A's Videos.

If I logon as User A and select My Music from the Shared Documents folder
and try and move it to User A's My Documents folder a pop advises "My Music
is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows to run properly. It
cannot be moved or renamed."

If I logon as one of the other users and do the same i.e. select User A's
Music from the Shared Documents folder and try amd move it to User A's My
Documents folder the same message is issued - i.e. the message still refers
to it as My Music even though file is listed as User A's Music.

Any suggestions on how I can get the folders back into User A's My Documents
folder?

Thanks,

Duncan
