Hi.. i'm using win xp pro sp 2 and i have a little problem i know it's no big
deal but it's annoying so if someone could help i would be grateful.. so My
Documents folder is suddendly customized as Video folder but i can't change
it back because in My documents properties is no such option.. and with my
music and my pictures simillar things hapening..in example, i've set icon
view.. an when i open folder again it's thubnails view..(but there is no
pictures only music files) or folder changed from documents to music or
pictures folder.. i mean in option: use this folder type as tempelate, in
other cases i can change it but in My documents, my music, my video, my
pictures here is no such option in properties table.. so can i change it
another way..
 
Hi,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should), go to Windows
Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View - Reset All Folders.

Tip and added info:

By default, Windows is designed to remember 400 different folder settings
(200 local folders and 200 network folders, for a total of 400 folders).
Windows will start to re-use these stored settings on a 'Most Recently Used'
basis, once the folder limit has been exceeded. You can change this to 8000
by adding this edit to the registry.
