Windows driving me insane!

mattbees — Mon, 03 Jan 2005 21:58:52 GMT

I recently noticed that my "my music" folder no longer has that little music note on the icon, it just looks like any other file and windows wont let me change it back! Does anyone know how it can be put right? everything seems to work ok but I just find it annoying

Cheers

I think it happens when you put non music files in your music folder, or ones that windows doesnt recognise as music, like ogg and aac.

I dunno then, mine changed when i downloaded some videos and they went into the my music folder, not really bothered to me, if all that was wrong with windows was that icon, i wudnt be fussed, its the rest of the junk u have to put up with thats bad....

I find it's fine as long as you don't put anything else except music and album art.

actually thats something else i was wondering. where is album art actually stored? because i always thought it was in the album folder but i cant actually locate the files. doesnt media player connect to some database and download album art to the album folder when you play it? at first i thought it was just because i had file settings set to hide hidden and system files but it wasnt the case...

They're in the folder, just hidden away (commands in desktop.ini)

No point trying to find it though, the pictures are tiny, so u wont really be able to use the album art for anythin!

Lol! XP is one big gimmick really, its just Windows 2000 with prettier icons and a prettier toolbar! The only big steps for Windows was 3.1 to 95, and Windows ME to 2000, because 95,98,and ME were all identical!

I remember in Paris there was this great Playmobile Christmas dsiplay in 1983, it was excellent, and we could play with it.

The bad thing was the legs were as one big unit, so you couldn't just make them stand on one leg!
