As these are special folders, use TweakUI from Microsoft's powertoy collection:

How will I use Tweak UI to fix these folders ?

Thanks for replying so fast

See if Right-clicking on the My Documents folder (shortcut) on the Start Menu (or Desktop if Classic) and selecting Properties then selecting "Restore Default" fixes it?
Click to restore the My Documents folder to its default location.

Thanks Linney
I was able to get the subfolders back into "My Documents". The "_y Documents folder with the subfolders is still there though.

Thanks

It sound like your issue is sorted, but launch TweakUI, My Computer, Special Folders, and scroll the listbox to see all the choices.

Is everything in the My Documents folder that should be, no files missing?

Probably "_y Documents" wont take kindly to a delete but have you tried it? What does it say?

Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking.
