I'm just glad I'm a true geek-girl. I was able to spot the real problem (Windows had created a phantom user and then pointed all of the "Ricky Maveety" entries to the phantom user account. So, when I clicked on Ricky Maveety's documents, I was directed to the phantom's docs directory, which was empty.

I guess I'm lucky that it only took me about 45 minutes to diagnose and fix. But, really ... it was a rotten start to the day.
Ain't Vista grand?
