Problem with My documents

I have my "My documents" renamed as "Docs" and have My music, My Videos folders etc in this. I have several tabs open and also one which has the path "Docs\My Videos\" (I copied this directly from address bar of XYplorer). But if i browse through normal explorer the path to My videos is C:\Documents and Settings\calvin\My Documents\My Videos which indeed is the real path. I realized the problem when I closed the XYplorer with this tab in focus and restarted XYplorer. I have checked "save setting on exit". After restart the path "Docs\My Videos\" does not show anything. I have to click again inside the tree to get it back. Either this is a bug or i am missing something.

Well i know it doesnt matter if the My documents were renamed or not but wanted to make sure i give all the details of this bug.

Anybody any clues??

I use version 4.50.0022 on Windows XP home edition.

I'm well aware that Desktop and MyDocuments (or to whatever you rename them) are special folders in that there are available directly under the MyComputer top node. XY handles this particularity well since years. (Just to make sure: this is not a feature of the file system, but a service brought to you by your file manager; most file managers I've seen have copied this nice idea from Explorer.)

But I have not fully understood your problem. Explain again.

Well, I spoke too soon. But anyway

The problem i had since two days was, when i view any folder (Eg. My music) under Docs (i renamed My Dcuments to Docs) and close and restart xyplorer, the style list shows nothing (grey) for My music. For other tabs it was fine. Same thing for any folder under Docs.

Did not change anything, but today it works fine. So forget it. :) .
