Hello. It seems that my My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos icons (you know,
those three folders) have all disappeared! And I can't restore tem under
their properties tabs because there is no customize tab in them. Please help
me!

Right-drag the folders to the desktop (or wherever you want the icons). When
you let go of the right mouse button, choose "Create Shortcuts here."

Check to see if the Desktop.ini file is still under each folder. You may
have to set Show Hidden under Tools | Options | View
