Lost "Shared Documents" folder

Question
-
I lost my "Shared Documents" folder. (probably deletd it by mistake). Now when I try to install Adobe Acrobat, I get a message telling me I don't have administrative rights to a folder. The Adobe website has a procedure for this problem, but it includes changing rights to the "Shared Documents" folder.
"Shared Documents" is not in my Recycle Bin, either. I tried creating a blank folder and changing the name to "Shared Documents, but when I right-click on this folder, I don't get the options described on the Adobe website. I'm stuck. How do I get this folder back, so I can use it?
