My Pictures folder error

Windows XP Setup >> My Pictures folder error For some reason now my 'My Pictures' folder now thinks itâ??s a music folder.
When ever I go to it in the top left hand corner it always says 'Music Tasks'
it thinks that there are music files when there aren't just pictures. Also
know you can't view it as a slideshow type thing when you right-click & then
view. All you do is; thumbnails, tiles, icons ect... This is very annoying
seen as I liked the slideshow view. Also if you do put in some music files it
will come up saying, play all or selection. I know that it will be something
to do with the settings but I'm not sure which settings and where.

I have been told to;
Right click on folder
Properties
Customize
Select the kind of folder

When I go to properties there is no customize. Under general there is all
the standard settings, like read-only and everything and how many mb are in
the folder. There is also a sharing folder so then you can share the
contents, which I don't quite understand and at the moment I donâ??t need to.
If I go to my music or my video's there is no customize bit either. When I go
to another folder's properties there is, a customize so you can select the
type of folder I would like.

If I go into the My Pictures folder through;

My computer
Documents & Settings
User Name
My Documents
My Pictures

It all seems to work fine and it thinks that itâ??s a picture folder. There
are a lot of shortcuts to My Pictures which is what I mainly use and these
donâ??t work. Here it keeps thinking itâ??s a music folder. If you go onto a My
Documents folder through and shortcut including the desktop it also thinks
here that it is a music folder. What has gone wrong and where in the settings
seen as itâ??s only some of the settings now seen as it can work through My
Computer ectâ?¦

Please help.
Thanks
