Re: "Documents" folder missing file type, cannot be opened
I would question what the previous poster is saying. I've done a number of installs where initially Documents, Pictures, Music etc did not exist at all and I had to create them manually. I've not had those problems.
I wonder if the OP has not actually copied Documents back to the home directory but is trying to open a symlink that doesn't point anywhere. To check, open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t in most cases, or from the menu) and run the following commands:
The first command makes sure that you're in your home directory. If you know that you are, you can omit it.
(that's lower-case l, not figure 1, in both cases)
What does the line for "Documents" say?
BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.
