Hi ,
I am getting the above error on startup and at various times.
The full error is
I:\my documents is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted
or unreadable.
It all started when my son used all the space on my small c drive with
itunes.
I did the following,

'If you do not want the various subfolders such as "My Videos" and "My
Music" from being recreated, just follow these directions.

Disable –

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type the following in the run textbox regsvr32 /u mydocs.dll
4. Click OK

I also changed my phone and installed Nokia Music the I drive.
This worked fine for a couple of days, then I got the above error. I
uninstalled Nokia music and did below

Some programs may take advantage of a few of the features in
mydocs.dll. If you notice a program not working correctly, you can
re-enable it.

Enable –

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type the following in the run textbox regsvr32 mydocs.dll
4. Click OK
The my documents file on I will not delete, so I tried installing
Nokia music to it again and got Error 1304 when installing wavdest.dll
to my documents , verify you have access to that directory.

Pretty complicated and screwed up eh?

I don't understand why you thought the solution to a full disk was to stop using specially named folders on that disk.

What drives do you have? What is the capacity of each, and how much free space do you have? I'm looking for an answer like this:

Size Free Type
= ======= ====== =========
C 37.2GB 22.5GB Fixed
D 111.0GB 43.1GB Fixed
E 233.0GB 45.0GB Removable
F 233.0GB 92.7GB Removable

From there, I might be able to recommend something that's not crazy.
