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
