Folder Question

Wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes.

I have an issue that has been occurring lately, and its really starting to piss me off. I like keeping my "My Music" folder organized. Lately, when I go to move a file, you get a black line, that will represent where you want the file to go.
This black line.

The only place I dont get that black line is in my "My Music" folder. All others it will.
When I move something in the folder...

Another issue I am having is that when I do move a file, it juts the file on the end of the line out of the window, instead of to the next line.


Thanks for you guys help in this issue.

But if you are correct, would that not be happening in the "My Pics" Folder, as well as vids?

I guess what I will do is transfer all the items to another folder on the comp, and somehow see if there is a way I can "format" the My Music folder, reset it, and see if I can get it back to normal. If I can, good, it will be new. If not, its still OK. Not worth reformatting the comp over for one folder, ya know?

Thanks for your responses.

You could also try using the TweakUI tool from Microsoft to reset your system folders.

It is available here:

It will instal to your Start Menu under Powertoys for Windows XP.

One of the last options on the list is Repair and My Music is an option in there.

Hope that solves it for you.

Also I would like to point out on the screenshots you sent in, you are using two different views (One Filmstrip, the other Tiles). It may6 be a simple case of going into the My Music folder, clicking View and then Thumbnails. I get the black line that way.

Also while you're in the My Music folder click View and then move down to Arrange Icons by and then click on Auto Arrange.

That should stop your icons moving out of the window.

Good luck

It is the way that the folder is set up. Rightclick on an empty space in the folder, and choose auto arrange. the reason this works is because it arranges the icons in a sequence, which produces the line that you are familliar with. when this is not selected, it allows you to place the file icons anywhere in the folder.
