Solved Getting back a default folder + its icon

I accidentally shift+deleted the standard "Videos" folder that has an icon. I used a utility to recover the little bit of data that was on there, so that's all good. The problem is that now there is no "Videos" folder in the same location as the other standard folders, i.e. Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. When I try to create a folder called Videos, it either tells me that there already is one and cancels, or it will create it and then subsequently not show it there.

It's not hidden, I've checked on that, or renamed. It's gone but Windows seems to think it is still there. Of course I'd like to have it back...how do I either restore it, or hard delete it so that I can create my own?

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, on an Acer Aspire laptop from 2009. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Julie
