Hitman6267 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 No I didn't use anything. It just became like that after installing windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm sure that it's perfectly normal, unless of course you mean it's actually a picture folder, i.e you get the picture icon in the bottom right upon opening it up. You should be able to resolve this by right clicking > properties > customise and ensuring the driving is set to All Files & Folders or something similar. I can't reproduce it right now as I'm using Vista but it should be somewhat similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
