When I click on different folders "my pictures"my
documents" etc.I get a title called "unspecified"????
with the folders shown below that.I either never notice
that before or a mess up a setting.Can anyone please
explain and maybe help me restore this back the way it
should be?
Have seen your question a few times in the last few weeks. Getting any
nibbles on this problem? Am thinking that possibly the desktop.ini files
for these customized shell folders have been damaged or tampered with.
Maybe there's an "unspecified" value or an extra line in the .ini files?
Long shot but maybe worth a try: TweakUI offers to "repair" the icons for
some of these folders. It may check some other points along the way that
will help with this. TweakUI is one of the Power toys for XP.

MVP Kelly Theriot has some extensive information on these shell folders at
her site. Scroll down to "Folders" and review the various subtopics.

Both sites discuss the contents of the desktop.ini files - default entries,
some corresponding registry entries, and some tips about various
customization methods.
