Displaying the 'My Music' folder icon

[Guest]

The 'My Music' folder is no longer shown by the 'music folder' icon. Instead,
an ordinary folder icon took over.

How can I get the 'music folder' icon representing the 'My Music' folder
again? Thanks.

Right click on the folder and when the properties page pops up hit the
"Customize" tab... you can select pictures from there.

Use the drop down list for categories like "Music" is probably the easiest.

Sorry I did not spot that it was the default "My Music" folder, which you
can't normally change.

What version of Windows?

If you are using thumbnail view maybe something you installed changed the
picture... See if this article helps.

In some cases clearing out temporary files has strange random (well
seemingly random) effects if you can't associate this change with any other
events maybe just changing color depth as suggested will do it.

"Customize" tab won't be available for special folders such as "My
Pictures", "My Documents" and "My Music".
