Hey I have abit of an odd problem.. Don't know if anyone can help me, but bare with me on this it's hard to explain
..
Anyway, In Vista's start menu, I redirected the "Pictures" folder to my user folder "Matthew".. Clicked okay and blah blah blah didn't think twice about it, until I tried to redirect it again. Now I get the error message "cannot redirect descendant to parent". I saw a tutorial for this but my issue has a hidden detail..
When I click onto my Local Disk, drive C in "My Computer", go to "Users" then "Matthew" all is fine.. But then in my start menu when I click the newly redirected Pictures folder that now is Matthew, it contains all the files is should, PLUS a copy of "Matthew" again.. So on the top of the window it say "Users>Matthew>Matthew" yet when I go through "C>Users>Matthew" there is not second Matthew file, IT ONLY APPEARS WHEN I GO THROUGH THE START MENU.. Also, when I click "properties" on the first Matthew file, it says its size is 2.73gb, yet none of the files it contains even amount to 500mb..
So, can anyone help me?
