Start Menu problems

Admittedly I may have done something to cause this but I can not get it
right:

Vista Home premium, 32 bit. New User, new PC.

Had all data and music files on external HDD's.

Moved data (documents, pictures) over last week, and moved Music files over
to C drive today.

On Taskbar, at Start button, click on button, On right side of Start menu
there are: under my picture, choices for "Me
(user)", Documents, Pictures, Music, Games, then a divide and then, Search,
Recent Items, Computer and so on ...

If I click on Documents I go to the folder with files of documents. Same
with Pictures. The files from both Documents and Pictures came from an
external HDD.

However, when I click onto MUSIC, nothing happens. These files also came
from the same HDD, and I moved them over. Since I only moved the files over
today, in the 18 days I have had the computer, I never knew of this problem.

Yet, when I go to Computer, >C drive> users> "me"> music, the folder shows
with proper files and all that.

If I right-click on Pictures, I see a drop down box with various options,
including full properties.
Same for Documents.
Same for Games.


HOWEVER: If I right click on MUSIC in Start and the all I see are three
options: Copy; Rename; Properties === with properties being completely empty
and zero bytes and all attributes unchecked.

How can I properly link MUSIC in right side of Start to the Music folder?


If I go to Control Panel > Taskbar and Startmenu> Start Menu > Start Menu
Customize> There is NO option for the MUSIC folder thought there is an
option for Documents, Games and Pictures.


Probably a simple fix but I am too complicated to figure this out.

Thanks in advance,
Robert
