You have been helped. Mark told you how to fix any of your folders. Malke told you how to stop new folders taking the default sort (although it is any file folder - which my music is for this purpose - not just the root of a drive).
Perhaps you wanted to remove your saved settings. Click Reset Folders in folder options and stop acting like a spoilt brat.
