Accidentally deleted a special folder in Vista

Q:  I have accidentally deleted the Music and the Videos folder. How can I recreate those special folders?

A:  Click Start, type the following commands one by one and press ENTER

shell:My Music
shell:My Video

You’ll get the following error messages after running the above commands:

Windows cannot find ’shell:My Music’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

Windows cannot find ’shell:My Video’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

This is expected. By now, Windows would have created the two missing folders automatically. Logoff and login back  in order to access the Music, Videos folders.
