Music Folder in Navigation Pane Shows No Content

JGonzalez0857 · Thursday at 6:39 PM

One step forward & two steps back. I did restore the default Music library. I did run the batch file Music_folder_Restore_default_locations (renamed) and rebooted. Now I was able to get the properties of the Music folder and it did show the Location tab. So I changed it's location to F:\Music.
After this action selecting the Music folder was unresponsive. In %USERPROFILE% there was no Music folder. So after I created a Music folder I was able to select the Music folder and it was responsive and it showed an empty content. But again the properties of the Music folder doesn't have a Location tab.
In viewing the properties of the F:\Music folder, it does show a Location tab set to F:\Music.
It's curious that when I run the File Explorer alternate OneCommander, it shows the content of the Music folder correctly.

lets go at this from a different angle.

1. reset the music library
2. reset the music folder
3. reboot
4. ensure both library and music folder open/do not freeze or hang system
5. ensure your F:\Music is accessible as normal

halt after all of these are as listed. let me know.

The Music folder and the Music library do show the files that were moved from F:\Music, but now that F:\Music folder is gone. And the properties of the Music folder does show the Location tab set to %USERPROFILE%\Music.

ok so it is back to its original state, correct?

1. create your F:\Music folder
2. now, go to

Code:

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries

3. Right-click on the Music Library > Properties > Add > browse and select your custom folder F:\Music

let me know when thats done

The property of the Music library is still showing the default Music folder and I did add the F:\Music folder.

ok. just wanted that done for a failsafe. now use ThisPC tweaker (i'd say avoid the Registry for now as it was becoming quite a mess...) and highlight Music > uncheck navigation pane box & folders category boxes at the bottom, then click Remove on the right. then relaunch explorer and it should be gone. then use the tweaker again and add a custom folder and select your F:\Music. check both boxes to show in category and nav pane.

After using ThisPC Tweaker as advised and relaunching explorer, the Music folder still shows in the Navigation pane.

is it your music folder, or the music library?

JGonzalez0857 · Thursday at 8:27 PM

Both the Music library and the Music folder point to the default location. But the Music folder under This PC is gone.

ahh. thats not the default entry is why. the default entry would show as a sub under This PC tree. so we need to track down where you added it...

in regedit, run a search for:

System.IsPinnedtoNameSpaceTree

find one that is tied to "Music" that has a value of "1". i cant advise on exactly what it'll be under because i dont know how you originally added it... once you find that, set its value to "0" and that will remove it from the nav pane
