Folder Hijack

[Guest]

Hello all, can anyone please help me on this long standing problem. A while
back I installed 'musicmatch jukebox' by mistake while installing something
else. I uninstalled the program but my 'My Music' folder displays the logo.
I've tried typing ....peruserinit etc [I typed it correctly at the time [more
than once]] but it won't go away.
Is there a work around like locating the actual picture file and deleting?
I also remember reading something about naming a file 'Folder' and that then
becomes the picture on the folder.This is very frustrating and any help would
be much appreciated.

Which logo, Danny. Can you be a bit more specific?

If "My Music" is a shortcut, you can change the icon from its properties
window.
If "My Music" is a folder, you should be able to change the picture
displayed from the customize tab from its properties window.
I don't understand what you mean by "typing....peruserinit etc"

The actual command is 'rundll32mydocs.dll,PerUserInit', you type it in the
run box and it supposedly restores defaullts Bill. The actual logo is a royal
blue background with white writing that says 'Upgrade to plus' and in the
bottom left hand corner is the logo and words muiscmatch. It even appears in
the autorun options, minus a picture.

The above link is a post from ages ago. It's not a virus or spyware problem.
thanks
