Vista - The Music and Downloads Folder Aeroness is Lost

The other, out of nowhere, my Downloads and Music folders lost their
"Aeroness". I mean, in other folders, like the movies, documents, ect., the
folders are blueish green and sort of translucent. But now, they are a regual
yellow folder. I tried doin just about everything except System Restore
because that will be the very last resort. Please, someone help me!

Somehow the desktop.ini files in those two folders have been changed or
deleted. To re-create the Music folder, Cut and Paste everything in your
Music folder to a temporary New Folder (except the desktop.ini, should it
exist), and then delete the Music folder. Type the command "shell:my music"
(without quotation marks) in the Start Menu's Start Search box, press Enter
on your keyboard, and then move everything back to the new Music folder.
(Moving or re-naming the current Music folder won't work, and may cause new
problems). You can then delete the New Folder.

Do the same for the Downloads folder. Tor recreate the Downloads folder,
type "shell:downloads" (without quotation marks).

There is a more easier method to fix this problem. Find your Music and
Downloads folder, then rename them. After they were renamed, you will find
they were recoveryed. Of course, you can rename them to their originally name
before.

by the way:
if you deleted the deskop.ini or modified this file, this easier method is
not fit for you.
