Hi Kristoffer,

Click Start, Run and type C:\
Click Tools, Folder Options
In the View tab, click "Reset all folders"
Click OK.
Close the folder

If that does not help, see Keith Miller's advice here:

Odd that the problem would recur after using 'Reset all Folders'. Did any of your files/folders
come from a Win2K machine? If so, check for the existence of a 'desktop.ini' file on your D: drive
(set explorer view options to show hidden and system files). If the file exists, delete it. Then
try 'Reset all Folders' again.

If explorer is giving the drive a music template based on content, you can override this by creating
a desktop.ini file with the following contents:

[.ShellClassInfo]
FolderType=Documents

Create it in notepad (Hide Extensions must be turned OFF to save as a .ini file) and save it to D:\.
Then 'Reset all Folders' again and see if the proper tasks show.
