drive root thinks it's a my videos folder

[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?
