Somehow my "My Music" icon was changed. I no longer have
the icon of a folder with a musical note on it, I have a
plain folder now. I don't know why or how this happened,
I just want to know how to get it back to normal. Thanks.
 
Open "My Music" folder and double-click desktop.ini file. This file is
usually hidden.

Make sure the contents exists in that file:
==============================
[DeleteOnCopy]
Personalized=13
PersonalizedName=My Music
[.ShellClassInfo]
[email protected],-12689
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-237
==============================

Okay Thanks! Didn't know it was as simple as just
creating one.

This may help or in the future. Kelly has help for this on her XP A-Z
site. Under "F" and Folders Special:

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: Illustrated, detailed instructions here:
