The program then enumerates through the sites to determine if you REALLY have access to them. Green means you do and red means you don't. There used to be a bug with the product that would prompt for username and password whenever you used the "My SharePoint Sites" within an Office application on the sites that would show up in red. This has since been resolved and it is no longer an issue. I hope this answers your question. Thanks, Paul Qwade,

Paul what does the red and green indicate/mean? I ran the sites checker and it returned sites that came up red and sites that came up green per your picture above.

Attempt to clear one or both of these and see if the option comes back. Thanks, Paul Hector,

The “Set as default My Site” is determined by two factors – if the PersonalSiteUrl is set in the registry and if the www home page is set on your Active Directory container. Attempt to clear one or both of these and see if the option comes back.

Thanks,

Paul

I am trying to get the SharePoint Sites icon to show up in Windows Explorer on a Windows 7 machine running Office 2010, but the "Set as default my site" option does not appear on the sharepoint MySite. It briefly shows up when I go to My Site, but immediately disappears. Do you have an idea of what could be happening. Funny thing is the first time I set this up, it worked perfectly, but I had to change my hardrive this week and I can't get this to work now. Thanks. Hector. Paul, I have a related issue.

You could write a script or utility that you can run on each PC to update it or perhaps update it via a GPO. Unfortunately not — this registry value is what controls it.

We had a POC SharePoint site set up and I created a "My Site" which automatically created this PersonalSiteURL. Since that time we have moved into a Production environment and I would like this URL to be updated to the new PROD server. Thoughts?
