    Hi,
    When I access the F:\ hard drive (2nd hard disk), the windows recognize it as a music folder, which it should be and it should be recognized as C: drive. Here is a pic below. Any idea to fix it?

    You can change any drive letter thru Computer Management except the drive in which Windows was installed to.

    I dont wont to change drives, if I do that many of my installed programs will be corrupt. I jus want windows to recognize F: drive as a normal folder without seeing it as a music folder. Any idea on how to do that?

    Have you tried right clicking the folder, go to properites. Click on the Customize tab and selecting Documents as the folder type?

    Sorry, that won't be there for the root folder of the drive.

    The last thing on the list may be the obvious. It could be a theme properties issue. The theme you are using could have a bug in it giving it the impression that the root folder is being used for music.

    Nothing is wrong with the theme I changed it to the default one and still the problem remains.

    so you check under disk management right?? well yeah, it is possible it can be the theme.. i mean if you change it back to default, it doesnt entirely go back to normal at times, some themes have bugs...im guessing your using winblinds?...well yeah, if not... try doing a system restore, but if nothing happens... lets us know...i'll look into it


    oh i forgot, your sure its not a flash media drive...perhaps on a printer or some sort?

    I checked the theme its 100% fine. I am using a sata hard drive, internal one. It was fine with the current theme I have then suddenly it changed. I know it doesnt has anything to do with my theme, its something else.
