Hi Guohao,

This message is the result of your 'my documents' folder location.

For windows we are using the windows call
HRESULT hr = ::SHGetFolderPath(NULL,
                                CSIDL_PERSONAL | CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE,
                                NULL,
                                SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT,
                                buffer);
 
to get the system path, and if that fails using the same call with SHGFP_TYPE_DEFAULT instead of SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT.
 
This should mean the value we are using are stored in the registry under one of the two places.
 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal
 
 
The best way to change the values  is to go to: 
Start -> Your Name  (aka open your own personal folder) 
Right Click "My Documents"  -> Properties -> Location
