"files stored on this computer"

All (HELP !!)

I have a machine running XP pro SP2 and if I create a user called Ursula as a limited account when I log in under "my computer" "ursula's documents" folder does not appear but the sharedocs folder does.
If I change ursula to an administrator her "my documents" appears under my computer. How can I get this working for her as a limited user ?
I have checked and when logged in as her there is a register entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths]
In the right pane, right click and choose New/String Value.

The format should be:
"folder title"="full folder path including drive letter"

the is an entry for her and other my documents.

she can access her my documents from her desktop fine, file permissions is not the issue (imho).

I have tried deleting and readding the user, with no luck.
I have tried searching the registry


please help as this is doing my nut in

Logon as Ursula.
right click a blank area of the desktop.
Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop.
Put a checkmark on My Documents.

Apply and Ok yourself back to the desktop.
Hit the F5 key.

You will see My Documents.
Now right click on that icon, Rename, and rename it 'Ursula's Documents'

I'm afraid this does not help as she already has a my documents on the desktop ( which works fine ). Ursulas my documents does not appear under my computer.


I have also just notice, another users my documents has now appeared but permissions are preventing her froma ccessing this one ( which is correct )

so How do I make ursulas my documents appear under my computer
and how do a remove the other persons mydocuments

please help

Is this limited "Ursula account" similar to the guest account in XPhome? (I have to translate from the Dutch here so maybe a guest account does not exist in the US)
The reason is that XPhome does not allow the "guest" to put documents on the PC.

Alternatively you make it a full account and start restrictiing with GPEDIT

there are other limited users that have the correct my documents under my computer.

this limited user is defined by XP and is above a guest and below a power user.

I cannot find any settings relating to my documents in gpedit.msc ( can you advise )

Thanks
