Right then - not sure if this is the right place to put this but it looks
good enough.

My shared documents folder is all knackered up. I never use
the thing but it's stopping me from installing SP2 so I want it fixed.

I'm on XP Home. Now it's not allowing me to delete or overwrite anything in
Shared Music, I've been into safe mode and played with the settings (which
were all wierd) and it hasn't helped. How can I reset this folder to make it
work again?
