Hi,

I've just added a second hard drive for storage, and as I like to have my
drives labelled specifically I have them partitioned. I moved everything
except the primary partition off the first disk while I reset its partition
size, and now everything's where it should be, though not quite how I'd like
it.

1) Each of the drives now has a RECYCLER folder in view. How do I make these
fully hidden as before, as I can only get them semi-hidden now?
2) The My Documents, My Music and My Pictures folders show correctly in the
Explorer address bar, but display the computer name instead of 'My' in the
folder view. I don't keep these in the C drive, they were all moved from a
partition on the first drive to the second drive, and then moved back to an
empty, reformatted partition on the first drive. How can I restore their
display names, and lose the part 'Read only' permission that's attached to
them? Renaming and re-applying the permission doesn't work. Incidentally, My
Videos is unaffected.

Cheers,

Jeremy
 
1) At a command prompt, at the root of each drive (cd\), type:
attrib +h +s recycler

2) Check the desktop.ini file in each folder and verify/edit the 'Owner' string. i.e.:
[DeleteOnCopy]
Owner=Keith

3) Don't worry about read-only on folders. Google it for more info.

Thanks Keith - I found I could re-associate My Music etc in Tweak-XP Pro 3,
but the attrib line has worked a treat. Cheers!
