| | Hello Hatter the Mad, and welcome to Seven Forums. If it's still in the Recycle Bin, then you can just restore it from the Recyle Bin. If not, then you can type shell:My Pictures in the Start Menu search box to restore it. You may need to restart the computer afterwards to full apply. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Thanks for the reply! I have done that, but it is not renaming itself to "My Pictures" or restoring the icon |

| | It just looks like a regular folder, called "Pictures". However, it does act like the user shell folder (i.e. when you right-click you can set its location). It just doesnt have the correct icon, nor rename itself to "My Pictures" |

It just doesnt have the correct icon, nor rename itself to "My Pictures" Try OPTION TWO for the Pictures folder in the tutorial below to restore it's default location, then restart the computer. You may need to restart a couple of times though. User Folders - Restore Default Location If this does not help, then please post a screenshot of this folder and it's location to help determine what may have happened. |
