| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Personal User Shell Folders Jillybean, Temporarily close the programs that are recreating the user folder. Backup your user folder contents to another location, then delete all of the sub folders in the C:\Users\(user name) folder. Do not delete the (user name) folder itself though. Check to make sure that all of your user folders are set to the default location as per Option Three in this tutorial below.

| Vista Home Premium 32bit |  Re: Personal User Shell Folders Hi. I'm getting a "Parameter format not correct" error when i enter "attrib +r %USERPROFILE%\Music" into command prompt... Any idea as to why? I haven't changed the default location of the music folder and it was right in the registry.  Much appreciated. Nub |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Personal User Shell Folders Nub, Not sure what you mean by the 0409, but it should only have attrib +r %USERPROFILE%\Music typed or copied after the command prompt. |
