Music Folder does not work

[psk123]

Hello All,

I have Vista Ultimate x64

I have a really old ipod I don't know what generation it is but trust me its old.

On the START menu I redirected Music to my external harddrive because thats where my music is.

So I changed it from c:/ something... to my external drives music folder e:/music

Something happened and my external drive changed to f:/ from e:/

Now the Link to Music does not work and if you see the attachment you will see what I see.

I tried everything I could to fix this but it won't. Please someone help! I am ready to reinstall vista if I can't fix this.

Hello psk123, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You will just need to change the location again to have it point to the current drive letter F:\ now location instead. Using Option Two in this tutorial, you can do this to the Music (My Music) folder in the registry.

Hope this helps,

Did you install your CD drive when your external HDD was unhooked? It seems that drive has taken up residency as your E: drive and thus why your external can no longer use that drive path. You can always go into disc managment and change the drive letter of your CD drive to something else not taken and perhaps next time you hook up your external it will fall back into place for you.
