I lost my "Shared Music\desktop.ini" file

[carpeliam]

The "Desktop.ini" file in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music" has been corrupted on my system.. or rather, some other program has written meaningless and useless data.

So... if somebody (anybody, really) could please open their "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music" directory and paste the contents of their Desktop.ini file, I'd greatly appreciate it. Note that you'll need to temporarily go to Folder Options and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" to be able to see the file. Thanks greatly.

It doesn't want to show me All Users, here's one from
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music

Despite "show all" and Dos Attrib etc.

try opening it in notepad from the command line (like &quot;notepad Desktop.ini&quot. I can see the one in My Music too, but there are certain &quot;All Users&quot;-specific lines in the other &quot;All Users&quot; files (like Shared Pictures etc) that I can't figure out. <p>Liam Morley<br><A HREF="mailto:"></A><br>&quot;light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>light the world, and bring depth to the silence.&quot;

Try this from a 2nd XP installation on another drive.
