What is "Enter Here's Documents" ?

My explore directory includes a file, "Enter Here's Documents", that seems to
duplicate all folders and files in "My Documents".
When browsing to insert a picture or other object into Word and other
programs and when "My Documents" is selected, the selection goes to "Enter
Here's Documents" and browsing from there is in slow motion.
What is this? Where did it come from? Can it safely be deleted?
Thanks

Sorry, NEVER heard of that type of DIR before and there's nothing
related to it anywhere on the web that I can find. You might want to
rename it and see if it reappears with the same name again. If so, you
should scan your system for spyware or viruses. If not...then you can
probably delete it. If someone else can/does use your computer, you
might want to check with them to see if they created it???

Thanks Diane,
I'm relatively sure that I am virus/spy free. No one else uses this computer.
I can open up both "My Documents" and "Enter Here's Documents" at the same
time, but if I open a subfolder in "Enter..." it changes the main directory
in title bar to "My...".
No "change name" choice by right clicking "Here's..."
I am really afraid to delete it in case somehow "My..." and "Here's..." is
somehow one and the same.

Well...remember that if you delete something that you realize you
still need...you can go into your trash bin and just restore it...as
long as you don't wait too many days.

This is really strange...never heard of this type of action!?!?!?!

If it were my computer, I'd delete it and then check MyDocuments...and
even create a bogus page and save it to MyDocuments to make sure it
saves okay...and reopen that same doc. Then check to make sure that
folder didn't return.
