On my start menu the Documents link instead of pointing to
C:\users\(my user name)\My Documents points instead to
C:\users\(my user name)\My Computers\My Documents

How do I get it to point the right place ?

Do you have a shortcut on your desktop for Documents? Is it right?

I would delete the "Documents" shortcut from the start menu, then re-add it:

In explorer;
  1. Browse to your My Documents folder
  2. Drag the file to the Start button and hold it for about one second.
  3. When the Start menu opens, drag the file to the location where you want to add it.
  4. Drop the file where you want the shortcut, and a shortcut icon appears.

You can just right-click the existing entry and pick Properties and add and remove folders that are included in the "Documents" library from there.
