And what "special folders" might those be, and how did you delete them?

Recreate the folders with commands like:
(click start, and type

Shell:My Music

Restart to let the folders appear.
Shell folders are displayed with the standard folder icon in Windows Vista:

I meant by those folders in personal folder such as "music" "games" "videos"
which has a tab "location" in their property where i can redirect them to
different places...

Right click on the "personal folder"

then select properties and finally "restore former versions"

Hopefully your folders will be there to restore

thank you for helpin, but i can't find the option "restore former versions"
can you please provide a more detailed steps?
thank you!!!

Mine vista is Home edition...
so wut else can i do?

 

[d3r3k]

i'm sorry, but i got little confused...
"click start, and type"
u mean i just type in search bar?

well, it only opens search window and tell me i found nothing...

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.
