drive root thinks it's a my videos folder

[Guest frederick]

i have win xp sp3. when i display the c: drive from my computer, it puts

video tasks on the top left instead of system tasks. this only happens on 1

user. there are 4 other users and they display the drive folder correctly.

 

it also happens on the 2nd drive, but it shows picture tasks rather than

video tasks.

 

my documents also shows video tasks when it is accessed from the start menu.

it works properly, however, when accessed from my computer or navigated to

from the root drive.

 

is there any way to fix this?
