Please Help... SpecialFolder Pics MixedUp
Saturday, January 10, 2004 by Ingui | Discussion: Stardock Software
MyVideos folder displays the MyMusic pic. The other folders are fine, and even in WindowBlinds, the Previews of the large images display properly. The MyVideos image is diplayed and has the correct filename, but on my system, the Music image is used twice, once in the MyMusic Folder and also for MyVideos. I havent checked all the skins on my PC but the several that I have all do the same.
Sound like something I can fix in SkinStudio or a prob with WB? or XP?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Jason

Hi Essencay. I am refering to Movies folder, one of the 4 Special Folders that exist in the "My Documents" folder. Windows places a Background bitmap in the Contents Pane that corresponds to each folders contents. ie: My Pictures, My Music, My Movies, etc.
"My Movies" folder is displaying the wrong Background.
SkinStudio sorts it out fine, but WB or XP is apparently a bit confused >

Does your "My Movies" folder show the correct controls for Videos in the Task Panel, even when it shows the wrong background?

Koasati only has 2 'special folders' and wonders what the 'etc.' is....................
Do you have any images files in your MY Movies folder? (grasping at straws)

Open 'My Movies' folder. Right-click on background...select properties...select Customize Tab and change "Use this folder type as a template:" to 'Videos'

Hey Koasati, sorry,actually the 4th image in skin studio is the Search bmp, and it's not in the My Docs folder. Not on my PC anyway. In fact I don't even know where that one belongs cause I've never seen it in use.
Anyway, thanx for "grasping". What you said actually made sense so I checked, and nothing but actual movie files in there

When you open up Search from the Start Menu the background shows the Search.bmp
