c:\ recognized as music folder

[Guest Ashutosh]

Hi,

Windows always assume c:\ as a music folder and it enables Artist/Album

Title etc columns for view.

 

how do I reset it? The option to customize this folder doesn't show up

in the properties dialog box as its a system root.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

From MVP Ramesh:

 

Try resetting the folder settings:

 

Click Start, Run and type C:\

Click Tools, Folder Options

In the View tab, click "Reset all folders"

Click OK.

Close the folder

Hi Malke,

Thanks for your comments! Actually I don't want to do that because I

have customized a lots of other folder and I don't want to loose

settings for that. Do you know the registry key where this setting is

stored?

Re: c:\ recognized as music folder

 

 

first of all check you c drive is not infected by virus. i think it has

a autorun.inf file in a root folder or some kind of audio/video file. i

am not sure about the solution. from tools menu , folder option, views -

unhide all file and untick the hide file for known types and protected

file. now check for suspious file. it might help.
