The icon on my music is the plain yellow folder, and i want it blu

How can I change it back to the blueish vista like icon with the cd? It's
just a plain yellow folder. I go to customize but it doesnt work.

I'm having the same problem.
It happens when I linked my computer to the xbox360 extender.

The desktop.ini file may be missing, or its Read-only and/or Hidden attributes may have been lost. See:

Re: The icon on my music is the plain yellow folder, and i want it

The solution, I believe to your problem is as follows:

1) Open a command window and navigate to C:\Users\<YourName>
2) Run "attrib +r Music" from the command line (without the quotes)

if you like you can check your handiwork by doing an "attrib Music" (again,
without the quotes) it should show up as follows:

C:\Users\Rogue>attrib music
R C:\Users\Rogue\Music

if there are any other file attributes along with the 'R' then remove them
with the "attrib -" (as opposed to "attrib +") and whatever letter shows up
(a, h, s or whatever)
Close Explorer, Reopen, and order should have been restored
