The 16x16 icon for send to my documents have gone missing for no apparent reason I have a screenshot of this attached. There was someone helping me before, but he seem to have disappeared... Anyways, I know that it's not the my document icon itself that's missing because it shows up fine everywhere else (desktop, start, etc). Does anyone here know of a way to fix this? Oh, I forgot to say, I'm running windows 2000

I have added a new destination in the sendto folder, and now it has two my documents, one with the missing icon and one with a regular folder as the icon. Should I delete the old one?

Nooo, I just noticed the sendto mydocuments shortcut is not deleted! I deleted it again in both the default user and my user account, and it just comes back. I've also noticed the new sendto my documents is just a shortcut while the old one is called a "MyDocs Drop Target"...what should I do now?
