hey rogue
thank you for your suggestion. it works for my music folder, but not with my
videos and incomplete folder. do you have any other steps for those folders?
thanks.

The solution, I believe to your problem is as follows:

1) Open a command window and navigate to C:\Users\YourName
2) Run "attrib +r Music" from the command line (without the quotes)

if you like you can check your handiwork by doing an "attrib Music" (again,
without the quotes) it should show up as follows:

C:\Users\Rogueattrib music
R C:\Users\Rogue\Music

if there are any other file attributes along with the 'R' then remove them
with the "attrib -" (as opposed to "attrib +") and whatever letter shows up
(a, h, s or whatever)
Close Explorer, Reopen, and order should have been restored

How can I change it back to the blueish vista like icon with the

It's
just a plain yellow folder. I go to customize but it doesnt work.

oh, never mind. i just found the solution for my videos. and i just realised
that 'incomplete' folder is not windows default, so obviously it doesn't have
a shell folder icon ;P. anyway, thanks for your help
