'My Music' folder messed up

[twisterX]

There is no icon in the start menu and in My Documents.

When you go in it it acts like a normal folder and no special music options.

what does repair windows do on the disc. Will it delete all my programs because its not worth that much trouble btu its annying.:wacko:

I dont know the answer to your problem, but "repair windows" should NOT be required. I am sure its a simple setting, and Im sure someone here will have a quick answer for you, just dont resort to the repair feature, it will annoy you more that the music folder issue.

as I have went retro (back to classic settings),
my info may be a bit out of whack, but,
right-click the task bar > properties > start menu tab > customize
browse through there, I think that's where the settings are :unsure:

-edit- and yeah, repair is overkill :wacko:

Right click the folder->properties->customize->set the folder type to music.
:unsure:

TweakUI has a Repair My Music Icon button

No. this is xp with a vista skin.

windows blinds :huh:


I fixed the icon but it doesnt act like a music folder anymore. Like it doesnt have the play all options like folders with music should have. :frusty:

Damn little problems make me want to fuck windows up. :D

[maebach]

I had the same problem a few years ago. I just ignored it. :lookaroun

How does this bother you anyway? I'm trying to do the opposite thing, I don't like My Music folder acting like a music folder. Stupid folder won't let me arrange icons by date... it's annoying looking for the most recent MP3's...

[twisterX]

doesnt modified=date.

i could do that on mine. I like having like the play all option becuase i use it all the time and only music folders that

oh. mine arent albums. Mines just mp3 files all in the music folder.

yours is a bit different becuase mine doesnt have by artist or album.

maybe its becuase you have the media center edition of windows or it may just be a skin.

Right click the folder->properties->customize->set the folder type to music.

@Rossco
I don't see that customize option anywhere... :huh:

:pinch:

what a mess
you'd get shot in Soulseek

:P

[twisterX]

they are just mp3 but they are nicely tagges and all the file names are good.

I just dont like having to click multiple folders for songs and i dont have full albums.

you cant get the customize option for like the music folder because its a default windows folder or something like that.

It doesnt work for pictures or ducuments either. Anything thats part of windows the folder options are opted out.
