My Documents and Local Disk folders thinks they're music albums

[LTOwnalot]

I don't know why this happened, but my friend told them it's happened to them
before so I assume it's a bug in XP's wonderful folder setting system.
For normal folder, you can choose customize them into "Music Albums" "Photo
Albums" "General Documents" and all these different type of folders. The sad
thing is XP adjust these folders property dynamically despite what I set them
to (so if it thinks Folder X should be a music album instead of a photo album
it'll do that for me).
So here's the problem, My Documents, which is considered a system folder and
cannot be customized, and even the Local Disk (C:\, where program files and
windows are located) were changed to being "Music Folders". So basically now
I can only sort icons based on "Year" "Artist" and stuff like that. Not to
mention that annoying huge music symbol that lurks in the background. Since I have no control over My Documents and the Local Disk folder options, I can do nothing about it.
I tried system restoring to days where I know these were still normal but it
did not work.
Anyone know about this problem and how to fix it?

Download TweakUI from Microsofts website and "My Computer -> Special Folders" Select each folder and change the directory to the right place.

Ie; My Documents points to "C:/Documents and Settings/$USERNAME$/My Documents"

Also,

Open the "Folder Options" under the control panel, click the "View" tab and then click "Reset all folders".
