This can happens if you have a mapped drive connected to your computer. To get out from this, just disconnect the network drive:

1. Open My Computer.

2. Right-click any network drives and click Disconnect.

This issue can also occur if My Documents is remapped to the network drive:

This may change the registry key Personal in

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders from %USERPROFILE%\Documents to a drive letter that you specify (for example, z:\).
