Re: F Drive Settings/Folder Options Issue

A newsgroup is no place for a tutorial on scripting. Do what I would do: Search the web.

Here's the "reader's digest" simplified version for those of you with short attention spans. . .

My external hard drive shows a music note down in the bottom corner of the explorer window when opened. How do I change that so that it does not show anything in that bottom corner??

It's not like I can delete the post now, although I'd like to since everyone seems more concerned with critiquing rather than helping.

I have an WD 320g external hard drive that I use for storage of all
of my files--pictures, videos, music, documents, etc. Recently I
noticed a problem with maintaining the folder views that I have had
set for years. My "pictures" folder had lost its filmstrip view all
of a sudden. Well, I have since fixed that issue, but have noticed
that very recently, the settings keep changing in a couple of my
folders. Most specifically, my "pictures" folder and the main view
into my F drive itself. (I don't know quite what to call it, but
it's when I choose "my computer" and then double-click on MyBook F
drive--the main window that comes up and lists all of the folders
contained within my F drive.) Anyway, what would happen is that
every time I changed the view on that main window, the views in "my
pictures" would change as well. For instance, I want the main view
to be "tiles" and the "my pictures" to be "filmstrip" but whenever I
change one the other automatically changed. The one thing I noticed
is that my F drive main window had a camera watermark down in the
corner, signifying that it was set as a picture-type folder, but I
did not set it that way. I went into the folder options and clicked
the button to "reset all folders" and now when I double-click and
open my F drive, the main page has a music note in the bottom
signifying music files I guess. My question is this, how do I set my
F drive to be just a normal all-types-of-files drive, like my C drive
is? I never set it to be specific to one type of file, so how did it
get caught up in being set that way? I've tried looking around, but
since this isn't a normal folder to change the "customize" tab, I
don't know how to tell the computer that I want this drive like my
regular system hard drive, like it was before. I do notice that my
external drive has an "autoplay" tab on it in the properties tab,
which my C drive (main computer internal hard drive) does not. Did
some sort of Windows update change the settings on my external hard
drive or something?
Wow; until you can put some grammar effort into that, it's almost totally unreadable and very hard to understand. Do something, anything, to make posts such as this readable to the masses if you want good responses.
Bulltet points often help. Separate out questions. Separate opinions from facts. Etc.
I made it thru the first few sentences and quit reading; too much work to figure out what you're getting at.
