    My documents missing from registry


    Hello!A few days ago I moved the defaults folder images/videos/musics/documents to my other hard drive. It went bad and things merged with the hard drive.I mostly fixed it by editing the paths of the folders in the registry but I noticed the "My document" one totally disappeared!I right-clicked to create a new line but there are a lot of options and I'm not sure what I should pick.Also just to be sure, the numbers linked to the document folder are {F42EE2D3-909F-4907-8871-4C22FC0BF756}?

  3. Error message "missing registry socket"

    Hi Harry,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    I realize this may be frustrating. Now that you have me with you, let me take care of this.

    Winsock or Windows Sockets is a technical specification that defines how Windows network software should access network services.

    Let us try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Perform a Winsock Reset

    • Open the Windows Start Screen or Start Menu and type
      cmd in the search box.
    • Right-click Command Prompt or cmd in the search results and select
      Run as Administrator.
    • Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt window and press
      Enter. Wait for Windows to finish resetting your Winsock configuration.
    • Reboot your computer.

    Step 2: I suggest you to follow the steps suggested by
