    Win 8 library "Pictures" disappeared


    Win 8.1 library "Pictures" disappeared i.e. got renamed into "Temporary Burn Folder" in "This PC".

    In "Libraries" I can still see it as "Pictures".

    How can I restore the folder "Pictures" in "This PC"?

    I am grateful for any suggestions and help.

    I've solved the problem by going to Explorer, right click on "Libraries" and click "Restore Default Libraries".
    I had to do that twice, though (rebooted twice).
