Music Folder

Link to 'Music' does not link on Start Menu. Its Property window does not
display tabs; nor does it link to the User/Music folder. How can one repair
this link?

Hello CptnFan,

You can use Option Two in this tutorial to make sure that the default location (%USERPROFILE%\Music) is set for the Music folder in the registry.

Personal User Folder - Restore Missing Folder

Hope this helps,
