Lost Explorer Sidebar Shortcuts
Hey all - does anyone know how you get the shortcuts back in the sidebar of explorer? Just to show you what i'm going on about here's them from a screenshot i'd taken a few days ago: [image: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3234/...02382f6dc.jpg] And now they're gone! [image: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3185/...f8f851f69.jpg] I can't 'drag n' drop' any on to it like i did before to make a shortcut - i get a red barred icon. Arrgh they were so handy! -- d0od tech news, view, reviews and how to's @ '*www.d0od.blogspot.com*' (http://www.d0od.blogspot.com) [image: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/...5082ffb_o.jpg] |

oooookay, even worse when i click 'music' in the start menu, i get an error or taken to a music folder with nothing in it [!] when i click pictures i'm taken to an empty folder I did find both my music and picture files, in their 'music' and 'picture' folders, albeit buried under about 20 clicks of music links music links music links etc.... How do i correct this? I've tried cutting, copying and moving the folders from their bizarre new locations, but it just doesn't work. -- d0od tech news, view, reviews and how to's @ '*www.d0od.blogspot.com*' (http://www.d0od.blogspot.com) [image: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/...5082ffb_o.jpg] |

uuuurgh and even worse, i've been trying to delete this pesky looping folders but i can't because "The source file name(s) are larger than is supported by the file system" yada! I'm actually -so- close to just wiping Vista off and going back to Linux. Is there anyway to delete these? i've tried cutting/copying/deleting from various points in the loop etc nothing works. i'm not worried about losing any music of photos etc cos i backed up earlier today [thank gods!] -- d0od tech news, view, reviews and how to's @ '*www.d0od.blogspot.com*' (http://www.d0od.blogspot.com) [image: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/...5082ffb_o.jpg] |

In the latter image, simply click on Joey in the address area, then click on
Documents, then click on Air Shortcuts. There are obviously no Favorites in the Air Shortcuts folder.....
