Thank you for the excellent feedback and ideas. Based on the last theory, I revisited my laptop history notes. I have 10 laptops in the house so I can forget at times. This specific laptop was not a clean Vista Ultimate install. The history is as follows: - OEM WinXP was installed on HP tc4400 - After 1 yr, in place using Vista Ultimate MSDN - Vista had moved my WinXP default folders under the Vista Documents folder and created shortcuts. Some shortcuts worked and the others did not. I fixed everything up. - After 6 months, added drivers for HP 2730p - Vista image backup to WHS - Vista image then applied to HP 2730p using the restore process from WHS - HP tc4400 laptop was deprecated - After 1 yr, in place upgrade to Win7 Ultimate MSDN - Music files are lost. Searched for *.mps files but not found. - Checked %SystemDrive%\$INPLACE.~TR\Machine\DATA\Documents and Settings\<username> and the files are located there. THANK YOU!! Other oddities after the upgrade: - There are some shortcuts created like c:\users\<name>\Music pointing to itself but if you click on it, it says that I don't have permissions. This happened for My Picturus also. I can access My Pictures directly but not through the short cut which points to it too. I deleted all this junk and cleaned up the directory structure. - C:\users\<name>\My Pictures or Libraries\Pictures points to c:\users\<name>\Searches\My Pictures - I have tried deleting the My Pictures folder instances but each time I logout and relogin, Pictures default locationg seems to be unders the Searches folder. This might be by design but seems the oddest thing to do from a user perpective.
