I Moved Music folder from C:\USERS\JOE\MUSIC to C:\USERS\JOE\BB\MUSIC
The original folder appears to still be where it was.
The files now show in both places.
But I did find out there is only one folder by looking at the original folder's properties.
1) Can you please tell me what happened (technical details please)?
2)Where is the location shown for the original folder stored (in the registry?)?
3)How can I undo the move?

Thanks, That hepled a lot with my Music problem.

It got me to look at some registries key and I noticed that the key for the shell folder "Contacts" points to a remote node. (That folder does not open when I try to open it.)

Does that seem incorrect or unusual to you?

If so, what should it be and how do I change it?

The only thing I can offer about Contacts is there is a folder in C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE. Mine never have anything in them as I use Webmail but I think that may be a holdover from the old Outlook Express. There's also Contacts in Microsoft Outlook and most of the online/Webmail choices.
