I accedently deleted my picture folder in Vista Home Pre. and now I can not
access my pictures from the start menu. Also the special icon is missing.
Is there anything that I can do to correct these two problems.

Do you have a file backup?

Try rolling back your system with a Restore point prior to you
deleting the folder.

Try this: In the Search box above the Start Orb type: shellersonal and
press enter.

If you have no folder under C:\Users\(Your Name) called Pictures (or
whatever Location you may have chosen for it previously), in the Start
Menu's Start Search box, type

shell:my pictures

Press Enter on your keyboard. This will bring up a folder called Pictures,
with either the default path in the address bar, or the path you moved the
Pictures folder to at some point in the past. Whether or not it has the
special icon is dependant on whether or not a folder was created when you
typed the command. It will have the special icon if a new folder was
created. If a folder called Pictures already exists, it won't write the
desktop.ini for the folder, and will just open the Pictures folder already
there. So, in other words, if you create a new folder and name it Pictures,
it won't have the default icon, but rather the generic manila one, even if
it's in the right user's path, and the shell:my pictures command won't
change the icon. If you've created a new Pictures folder manually, it's
best to move everything out to a temporary New Folder, and delete the
Pictures folder, type the command, and then move everything back. (Moving or
renaming the Pictures folder won't work, and may cause new problems).
