Solved Windows Explorer Folders Gone Wonky

[Cphreeze]

My girlfriend was trying to delete multiple folders and somehow the folder icon got changed to 3 blue rectangles. Not only that but now you can't see the properties, delete, or even move the folders. Any time you try to move them it just creates a shortcut. I've never seen this before. Anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

You might use this on the My Music folder ?

Hello Cphreeze,

It looks like it may be your folder view settings.

Set your folder views to this below to see if it may help.

Thrash, unfortunately I didn't have a restore point for this folder as it was only a week old. However, Brink that worked! I don't know how she did that but at least now I know how to fix it! Thanks!

You're most welcome. I'm glad it could.
