Had a registry problem with MS Messenger which windows 98 fixed, but since then my C:Windows/Desktop folder is holding my sons files from his documents folder AND the original contents of the desktop folder are now in a folder called C:Dr. Watson/Desktop. What has caused this and can I fix it by recopying everything back to proper folders and getting rid of Dr. Watson?
