    How do I make the "Documents" folder look like the other folders again (like the "Music" folder for instance)?
    It's probably a silly and easy question. See the two pictures to get the idea of what I mean:

    What you have opened is simply a library. The "classical" My Documents folder is now renamed to your user name (for user name "John" the My Documents folder will simply be called John).
    To add something to the library, click right mouse button on the library folder on the left side and click on "Properties". From there it is pretty much straight forward.

    Yes, I am aware of that.

    I noticed that there was a "public folder" under all the library folders, and I removed the shared folder for "documents", and then included it again. Before I did this, they both looked the same when I clicked on them on the left.

    I just want it to look just like it does when I click on the "Music" folder, "Pictures" and "Videos" - not divided up like it is now.

    I hope you understand. Thanks.

    Edit: Indrek - it worked. Thanks.
