I just upgraded one of my Win98 machines to Me and I very quickly ran
into this problem. I read through all the messages in this thread and
came up with a slightly different solution that seems to work just fine.
I had been playing with TweakUI and since I had "My Computer" first
on the display, I set it to first with TweakUI. After reading this thread
I went back into TweakUI and changed it so "My Documents" was
listed as first. However, what I then discovered was that the value of
that option appears to have no relationship to the way the icons are
arranged on the display. Simply turn off "auto arrange", set up the
icons however you want them to appear, and everything works just
fine!
The thing I like best about this solution is that it doesn't require editting
any files. My concern in that regard was that at some point in time
they would decide that nethood.htt needed to be modified and the next
critical update would undo all the edits you have so carefully made.
