Hello
Today I noticed on my computer that when i open the start menu and open the folder with my name tristan on it, the music folder no longer has the cool, blue looking icon, instead it has the standard folder icon.
Why? How can I fix it?
I recently downloaded limewire and itunes, does this have something to do with it?

This happens if the Desktop.ini file in the Music folder is
missing/incorrect or lost the RO attribute. See:
Shell folders are displayed with the standard folder icon in Windows Vista:
