Posted September 18, 200717 yr I've been reading many of the posts regarding Vista's default folder views and icon troubles and I've not seen one that quite addresses my problem. Out of the box (new laptop), I fiddled with these folders like any veteran XP user, much to my dismay. What I've wound up with is this: There is an icon on my wife's desktop called Wife. (I'm assuming, like a moron, that this equals XP's My Documents folder). If I open it, it displays everything in C:\User\Wife. However, it includes two folders called Music. Both contain exactly the same thing (inclucing 14GB worth of iTunes music I can't afford that much HDD space). Two things I can't figure out are: 1) if I navigate through My Computer to C:\Users\Wife, I see only one Music folder. 2) If I copy or move files or folders to either of these two Music folders, the dialog shows (for instance): "Copying 217 items from Desktop to C:\Users\Wife\Pictures". Pictures?! Why does it say Pictures? The bloody folder is called Music! Oh, and also, after copying said files into either of the two Music folders, the copied items (of course) show up in both of them. Because of this, I am afraid to delete one of them for fear I'll lose her Music folder altogether. What gives? Many thanx, Ripper -- Ripper T Smith rippertsmith<nospam>@comcast.net
