Your My Documents should NOT have a Customize tab on My Documents
Properties.

OK, but why has the other users and why does the "comment" suggest "contains
music and other files" which suggests a folder customised for music?

Mark,

It's a known issue. See here for resolution:

Common Tasks Don't Match Folder Type
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_common_tasks.htm

or

Keith Miller has a script that can fix the problem. Download "TaskPaneFix.zip" attachment from this newsgroup posting:

Shell folders don't have a customize tab. This is the case with all the user accounts.
