Folder got converted to Control Panel, please HELP!!!
Posted by Chipper on February 25th, 2006


I've been looking for a solution for my problem for some time now.

I uninstalled a program called lockfolder which functions to lock out
folders using a password. I used it to lock the My Pictures folder
from the prying eyes of my classmates. However, when I decided to
uninstall the program, it left the folder as a system folder/file,
opening Control panel everytime I click on the My Pictures Icon (which
was converted into a file icon). The name of the folder now has a CLSID
attached to it, which appears as

My pictures.{21ec2020-3aea-1069-a2dd-08002b30309d}¦

I want to restore the folder since all my vacation pictures are in
there. Please help me!
