Office 2010 - "SharePoint Sites" folder is missing
I'm having an issue where the "SharePoint Sites" folder usually listed in the user's profile folder (same level as Deskop, Favorites, etc.) is missing from several computers. I believe the common thread between the computers is that Office 2007 was installed
prior to Office 2010.
On the computers with the folder as expected, there are registry keys present in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common", named "Recent Sharepoint Sites", "Server Drafts", and most importantly I believe "Server Links". These keys are all missing from
the computers without the expected folder. The registry keys used for this functionality before were listed in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Server Links" are also not present.
I THINK the keys should be created when the "Set Default My Site" link is clicked the first time the user goes to their My Site. That link is not present for these users because they've used the My Site before, and I haven't found a way to redo it.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Oh. And the version of SharePoint in use is MOSS 2007 Std. SP2. Thanks.
