System restore to before the issue arose? Or is that turned off?

Question: One of my special folders (e.g. My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, Shared Documents, etc) has lost
its name, lost its icon, or has the wrong Task Pane template, how can I get it back?

Answer: This problem can occur if the hidden desktop.ini file in the special folder is corrupt or missing. Here are the
steps to fix this problem:

Open the special folder, then in the address bar type \desktop.ini at the end of the path and press enter. This will open Notepad.

If, instead of opening Notepad, you get a message saying Windows cannot find the file right click in the folder and select properties, then go to the Customize tab and click Change Icon then click OK and click OK again. This will create a desktop.ini with the correct Hidden and System attributes. Now you can repeat the first step.


1. In Notepad change the text of the file to the correct text specified below (My Documents, My Music,
My Pictures, My Videos, Favorites, Shared Documents, Shared Music, Shared Pictures, Shared Videos).
Then save the file and exit Notepad.
2. Log Off all the way and then Log In.

Note: When the text of one of these files contains Douglas Thrift replace it with your own user name.
