No problem...
You want to navigate to the following Keys:
User Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
Value Name: NoSMMyMusic
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = remove folder)
*BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY* then:
Open your registry and look in the HKEYs above to find the entry below.
(Default) REG_SZ (value notset)
NoSMMyMusic REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
You may need to create the key if it does not already exist.
So... If the key is there, just pop a 1 into it. If it's not there, create a new DWord named "NoSMMyMusic" and pop a one into it. Then reboot.
This also works on My Pictures folder.
