TSGL: disk management not working

[Engineman1 at aol.com]

OK, thanks-- after tinkering around with things in system32 I finally got  my 
disk management working but now I'm having trouble correcting my original  
problem. 
 
Whenever try to open "my documents" or save something to it I get the  
message that it is unavailable.
 
Some time ago I mounted the "my documents" folder to H drive, a partition  on 
another hard drive on the same machine. 
 
I did this because there was more space available on H.
 
My problem started when I restored two partitions with Acronis because of  
troubles with Internet access and slow operation.
 
I made Acronis images of my C and E drives some time ago. C drive has  my OS 
and E drive has program files.
 
When I restored these two partitions Acronis misrepresented partition E as  
D. consequently my E files got stored on D which was my music partition. E was  
unchanged.
 
I know this is confusing, that's why I'm confused.
 
When I got the message that "my documents" was unavailable I tried to  
recover it.

It couldn't be deleted so I renamed it with the arbitrary name "dox",  then I 
created a new my documents
file but dox retained the properties of my documents.
 
In the manual they say that in disk management to click on "view" then  
"drive paths" and it should show mounted folders but the box is empty.
 
That is why my original question was how to renew disk management.
 
How can I get my "my documents" folder to work again?

Hi,

check whether there's a file named filemgmt.dll under  %Systemroot%\system32. 
If not, you can try to find it in  %Systemroot\Servicepackfiles and copy it 
back to where it should  be.

Otherwise I've read somewhere it could also be a problem with DCom  
registration ...

I have a 4 yr old Compaq with XP-sp2  1.4 ghz cpu and 736 mb ram.

I am trying to correct a file  mapping problem.

To do this I need to go into "disk  management."

When I click on in "computer management" a blank  screen comes up.

I have gone into "services" and started  "logical disk manager" and 
"logical
disk manager administrative  service" as instructed in a google  websearch 
for
the  problem but could find no other help.

Any ideas?
