Picture Tasks now in the My Music Folder and vice-versa

[Guest]

The My Music Folder, My Pictures Folder and My Documents Folder have the
appropriate tasks, in the top left corner, wrong. Sub Folders are all
correct. Example: The My Music Folder has the tasks for pictures and
vice-versa. How do I get them to be the right ones?

Hi,

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 do it only for the My Music folder, you may need to use Process Explorer or Regmon.

Using Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com

1. Open My Music folder
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 to "MyMusic" (without quotes).

Using Regmon from www.sysinternals.com:
