Common Music Folder has been renamed and worked incorrectly

Guest

I have noticed that Music folder in Common Documents for all users in
Windows XP is no longer named Music (common) and instead just My Music, also
music icon disappeared and inside the folder no Music Tasks pane. Just like
it became usual folder. I cannot rename this folder back to Music (common)
and customize it as Music folder because ths system displays error message:
"... this is a system folder. You cannot change it ..."

Please advice.

the wrong Task Pane template, how can I get it back?

Answer: This problem can occur if the hidden desktop.ini file in the special
folder is corrupt or missing. Here are the steps to fix this problem:
