| | Re: desktop.ini files The files that start with "My" in Vista are not folders at all. They are junction points that can direct older program installers to the correct Vista folder. Just leave them alone. Use the folders named "Pictures", "Music", "Documents", etc. under your C:\Users\(youraccount)\ "bmxjumperc" <bmxjumperc@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B0CB2E71-24B0-43D9-A493-3A945F921B08@xxxxxx Quote: > I am having trouble with my pictures folder and music folder which both > look > like normal folders and I would like them to be what they are intended to > be > please help. |

| | Re: desktop.ini files Open a command prompt, navigate to the co:\users\<username>\folder Type "attrib +or music" (without the quotes) and press enter Check the attributes of the folder by typing "attrib music". It should look like this C:\Users\Rogue>attrib music R C:\Users\Rogue\Music close the console window and all should be normal.

| | Re: desktop.ini files You named this thread "desktop.ini files" so I am assuming that you are having problems with these files? Where, exactly are you looking when you see the standard folder icons instead of the custom icons for these folders? Are you seeing this in Windows Explorer, or......??? Are the Desktop.ini files still in these folders, or.....??? We cannot see your monitor from here, so we have to rely on your description of the problem. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "bmxjumperc" <bmxjumperc@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B0CB2E71-24B0-43D9-A493-3A945F921B08@xxxxxx Quote: >I am having trouble with my pictures folder and music folder which both >look > like normal folders and I would like them to be what they are intended to > be > please help. |
