The folder type setting is stored in the registry, sometimes it becomes
mismatched. Open a folder. Click Tools, Folder Options, View, Reset All
Folders. Note that this also resets the customizations for all the folders.

If you want to reset the FolderType settings for a particular folder, you
may need to use Process Explorer or Regmon. See this URL for more
information:

-or-

[Using Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com]
1. Open My Pictures folder from Start Menu or using Start/Run dialog.
2. Start P'Explorer
3. Switch the lower pane view to Handles, in order to find the 'Bag Number'.
Once you locate the Bag #, go to that key and change the FolderType
appropriately.
