Default My Documents folder has vanished!

I didn't delete anything. I did install a memory chip upgrade. All of my
document files are GONE. My programs are all intact but can't find any of the
files they created. Is it possible the folder is hiding somewhere? It's not
in the recycle bin.

HELP!!!

This is an unlikely error. Have you set / View / Options
to make sure no files are hidden? Have you searched for
individual files of which you remember the name?
(C:\My Documents is merely a folder like others
i.e. can be recreated at will and placed anywhere
you like.) Run a virus check too.
