Restore system folder icons

[C.M.G.]

Windows xp pro sp2 has "forgotten" the appearance of some of the system
folders ("My Pictures," "My Music"), but does not offer the "customize" tab
under "properties." The shellfolder paths in the registry are still correct,
but I am not sure where the other attributes are set. Any ideas how to reset
this?

Thanks,

Clem.
