Re: "Documents" folder missing file type, cannot be opened
Maybe instead of copying the ~/Documents/ directory to your desktop you only created a "Documents.desktop" link to your Documents directory. However in X that would just show "Documents" (or whatever Name= in that file), not the ".desktop" extension. Look at that contents of Documents.desktop with a text editor and see if that gives any clue where your Documents directory went. Or you can install "Main Menu" (alacarte) and open .desktop files with that.
Did you delete your Documents directory after you "thought" you moved it and did you empty your trash since you did that?
