Fix my Documents, my music, my pictures on XP files

Hello.

I've recently been organizing my pictures and music collection on my computer. Nothing special, just move the files. But now, something strange is happening in my My Documents folder. It now shows 'Music management' bar in the left pane of the folder. The folder now thinks that it's a music folder and I see the musical note background image in the folder window.

The folder my pictures poster now a bar '"Video tasks' in the left pane of the folder. I couldn't find a way to fix these default folders.

But wait, there is more. The problem with my hard drive C: folder, which also indicates the 'Music management' bar in the left pane of file.

I've tried right-clicking on folders My Documents, my pictures and hard drive and then selecting Properties to see if I could change the template under the option "use this file as a template. However, to my horror, I didn't see any tab to customize in the Properties dialog box.

How can I fix my folders My Documents, my pictures and drive hard for the left pane of the windows folder to come back if their windows?  Is there a button to 'repair' anywhere?

I am using Windows XP Pro with SP3.

Assumes,
Canada

I think that I found the solution to this problem.

To resolve this issue, try the following:

  1. Create a new folder on your desktop (or use a folder, preferably not exist a system folder).
  2. Right-click on the folder and then click the Customize tab.
  3. Choose the Documents under "optimize this folder for.
  4. Press OK.
  5. Resize the folder, choose the desired view icon. Is not serious.
  6. In the menu folder, click Tools, Folder Options, and then click theview tab.
  7. Under "Views of folders", click apply to folders.
  8. Press OK.

Now, open the My Documents folder, and an other folders, such as my pictures, my videos, etc..

After that I tried this, all folders on my hard drive started showing the correct settings on the left panel. I did have to create a new account. I used my only existing.

  • My Documents contains shortcuts to my music, my pictures, and my videos

    In Explorer Windows Win 7 (64), libraries for My Documents, my music, my pictures, and my videos are correctly displayed.

    However, the left pane shows that in My Documents, in addition to personal folders, I created, there are shortcuts for my music, my pictures, and my videos. These show that access is denied when I click on them.

    If I select My Documents in the left pane the three shortcuts are not displayed in the right pane.

    How can I remove or delete these shortcuts in the left pane display in My Documents?
    Thank you
    Dave

    They are shortcuts, so you can right-click / they / them and click on delete.

    Shortcuts always display the curved right arrow symbol,.

    Then right click the libraries list and click on restore default libraries.

  • How to remove 'music' and 'pictures' of the right pane of the start menu?

    How can I remove the 'music' and 'pictures' option in the Panel of the start menu right?  When I right click on them, there is no option to remove or delete (as some forums suggest).  When I go to customize the start menu, everything (Panel, Favorites, videos, etc) except these two are listed.  Can anyone help?

    Well well well, you will look like this?  When you mentioned "libraries", I remembered that a few weeks ago I was cleaning the menus and screens under WMP and apparently I went in organizing-> customize the navigation pane and unchecked near pretty everything in there.  I just went and restored these options by default and viola ~ music and images options are coming back as if by magic.  Do not understand the logic behind this, but the problem is now resolved.  Thank you.

    How can I fix? Vertical stripes in still picture first pro?

    Hi Gemma,

    Go to the file/project settings/general and change the rendering on "Mercury Playback Engine software only" engine.

    Press OK, you will get a dialog box in which select "remove previews."

    Try these steps and it should work.

    The best suggestion is to update your OSX 10.11.1

    It sounds as if your user profile is damaged.

    To confirm, perform the following steps:

    1. Create a file of any type and save it in "My Documents" of the account, which seems to have lost everything.
    2. Search for the document.
    3. When it is found, right click and choose Properties.
    4. Click the general tab and view the information next to the 'location '.  It will be C:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents Settings\nom
    5. Make a note of the user name
    6. Now search for a document that you know existed.  Get location and to compare the value of username to this file that you just created.

    Did you find the old file?  Was the location your former username user name and the user name for the new file a variant of that?

    Also, please answer the next 2 questions, in the event where the article below does not help:

    1. You use a profile (user name) that you created or that you use the built-in account named "Administrator"?
    2. Also, what version of Windows XP you are using, including service pack?

  • Impossible to move Documents to the location of the original file

    I recently installed a new hard drive (g) to save space, and I wanted to move my Documents out there

    I changed the location of the files normally, accessing my users folder (C :), select properties and change the location. However, I did a specific folder to the new location of documents and I simply chose G:\

    Documents always appear under my libraries, and I can still access them. However, they no longer appear in my user folder, so I'm more able to move to the default location.

    I tried to do a "My Documents" folder later and moved all my files recently moved from Documents in this folder, but that did not work, because it does not yet show a location tab. It shows that 'Général', 'Sharing', 'Security', 'Previous Versions' and 'customize '.

    When you go to the properties of Documents in the libraries tab, I tried clicking on "Restore default settings", but there is nothing.

    In short, he's my documents are intact. (G) has a folder My Documents containing all my documents, but I created this folder after you change the default location, so it is no longer present in my users folder. If I pass this new folder to my (c :)) users file, which will set?)

    Once, I screwed up my file relocations and was able to fix the problem quickly and without any side effects.  However, the solution involves changing the registry to apply the usual caveat [back to the top of all, make an image of the system, test the system repair disc / Windows installation disc so that you know that you can start with something to be able to restore the image if Windows will not cooperate].

    1 open RegEdit [C:\Windows\regedit.exe] - I always open it by right-clicking and selecting run as administrator but I don't think that will be needed for special keys concerned by this hotfix.

    2 go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    Click on through each entry in the list to see what number S-1-5-21-NNNNNNNNNNNN-100X is the name of the affected user.  The user name appears in the right-hand side of the RegEdit window you look at each entry.  The number of S - etc., it will be the X at the end between your user accounts.

    3. navigate to this entry [using the S - etc number you just found]

    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-NNNNNNNNNNNN-100X\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    4 change the value of the personal in the right side by double-clicking on the personal and changing that value to that of the new way you have implemented already.  [Staff means your my documents entrance].

    5 you will also see a few lines up key

    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-NNNNNNNNNNNN-100X\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell records

    and the entries in there match those in which you have worked in.  I mention the existence of the second series of entries just because you might see them and might get worried that something has gone wrong.  When I made this correction, I just couldn't get the second set until later so I have whatever it is worry.  [I've never understood the difference between keys user Shell and Shell Folders folders.].

    6 that I have rebooted afterwards.  And then everything was fine.

    There has been no major changes to the system

    The files I am to burn to the disc are previously ripped files on the disk hard, some of them were burned on another drive before.

    I tried to slow down the burn speed, but that did not work.

    Thank you.

    If by "computer of new beginning" you mean that you have started your recovery or disk restore factory set and reinstalled Windows, then the ability to recover your files is practically zero.  You can try a utility like Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) but since you have rewritten the entire hard drive, it is highly unlikely that anything will be recoverable.
