When trying to open files and specifying the "My Documents" directory nothing 
happens (I can not get to the contents of the directory). I can specify any 
other directory and view the contents. I've tried opening files directly from 
the Word Processor app and through the system tray icon with the same results. 

This issue applies when I click on the default icons on the left (History, 
Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Place) and also when I use the 
drop down box labeled "Look in".

If I go to "Local Disk (C:)" then "My Documents" I can get to the contents, but 
seems like an unusual way to do it when "My Document" shortcuts are all over 
the place.

Something to note: I did change "My Documents" to point to "c:\My Documents" 
instead of the default "c:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\My Documents".
