My Music folder

A long time ago, too long ago to restore using Windows Restore, I screwed up
the My Music folder. It is gone. I created a new folder but it does not
act like the Windows My Music folder. Is there a way to get it back?

Create a new file with NOTEPAD and insert

[DeleteOnCopy]
Owner={your user name here}
Personalized=13
PersonalizedName=My Music
[.ShellClassInfo]
[email protected],-12689
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-237

Save this file as DESKTOP.INI in the MY MUSIC folder.

it does not act like the Windows My Music folder

The folder icon is incorrect, right? Type this command in RUN box:

rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerUserInit

If the problem occurs again, it might be caused by WMP.
