I too have the proble that "Dave" is having i.e., "For some reason my system folders are coming up
incorrect. The 'my music' folder when selected comes up
as a picture folder and the 'my pictures' folder comes up
as a music folder. There's no tab to change these system
folders and I have no idea how they got corrupted this
way. Other users on the same machine are OK. It's only
this one profile. Does anyone know anyway to correct
this. (also the 'c drive' comes up as a picture folder
instead of a system folder) HELP! I really don't want
to delete this profile and start over. There's got to be
a way to reset this.

Can anyone please give a problem to this problem as it is really annoying. Also reinstallin XP does not correct this and i have upgrade to SP1 only to see this same problem.
 
Yomek,

Open Control Panel, Folder Options, View and choose 'Reset All Folders'

Click to expand...

The nature of the folders is controlled by the hidden desktop.ini files
in them. Rename these - say deskmus.ini and deskpic.ini - make copies
across to the other folder, and change the names of the copies back to
desktop.ini
