Default Folder Customizations Invade

I thought this to be slightly funny and at times ironic:
For some VERY strange reason, selected folders on my hard
drive have decided to become customized folders (the kind
of folder that you set up throught View Customize This
Folder...) unprovoked and sometimes in folders I cant
customize (like the "My Picturs" folder became a music
folder and C:\ became a pictures folder...err..drive)
I know xp will analize a folder to see if its contents
are more to a certain genre (ie pics or music) and change
the folder customization automatically, but I cant
remember ever having a music file in "My Pictures" nor a
picture on the root c:\
Can this be reversed? I cant even customize these folders!
