My Music folder is GONE

[Guest]

I moved the My Music folder to a second hard drive that had more space.

This hard drive crashed so I had to remove it. Now the My Music folder is
gone and is causing errors in programs such as iTunes which needs to access
it.

I've tried using TweakUI but My Music doesn't appear on the special folders
list.

Create a new folder under My Documents called My Music
Using Windows Explorer>File>New>Folder>type My Music>Enter

You think I haven't tried that? "My Music" is a special folder and it's
location had been moved out of "My Documents" to a drive which cannot be
written to (because it doesn't exist). Creating a regular folder does nothing.

Create your new folder wherever you want it.

Open regedit and navigate to:

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"

Double-click the "My Music" entry in the right-hand pane.

Enter the path for your new folder.

To restore the custom icon,

Start -> Run -> rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerUserInit


Good Luck,
Keith

You do not want to create a My Music folder to the "non-existent"
harddrive, but to your logical drive which should be "C" drive. Which
will replace the missing My Music folder.
