I tried changing the name of the no folder in the finder to documents; it told me there was already one called documents and I could not rename no. So, I copied all the contents of no to documents and moved documents to the dock. I sent no to the trash and emptied the trash. I went to the dock and no is sstill there but nowhere else. And, when I open no, all the docs in documents show up. It's crazy. On Jan 4, 2011, at 8:17 AM, Greg Williams wrote:
Hi Marlaina, The doc is just a list of shortcuts to the names that are on it. I think what happened (because I have accidentally done it before) is you hit enter on your documents folder in the finder, which brings up an edit box to change its name; you then typed no without realizing that it was changing the name of your folder. So since the name of the folder had changed, the name on the doc also changed to no. When you moved the "no" folder to trash, the shortcut on the doc remained because it now pointed to the no folder which was still in trash. Emptying the trash should remove the no shortcut from your doc as well. Then you just need to re-add the documents folder to the doc. However, if something like this ever happens again, the easiest way to fix it is to find the no folder in your finder. Hit enter to bring up the edit box; type Documents to rename it to Documents; and press enter. Then your no folder will be renamed Documents in both the finder and on the doc. I hope that helps.
