Re: [Question] how do i restore my personal folder

I should have told you to put quotes around the command:
"shell:My Music"

(or whatever folder name you deleted)
If you prefer not to read about all that at the link I gave you, you should
probably seek local help with it.

but now I see you are using Vista Home...
and that option is not available

Data rcovery software may be needed
