Hello,

The common tasks pane for my D: hard drive has changed automatically from
the regular System Tasks to Video Tasks. Is there any way to fix it back to
system tasks?

Thanks,

Jeffrey

If you don't mind losing saved folder views, go here:

Increase Folder View Size Limit to 8000: Line 2. left-hand column.

Create a text file with the following two lines:

[.ShellClassInfo]
FolderType=Documents

Name it desktop.ini and save it in the root directory of your D drive.

Then go to Control Panel -> Folder Options -> 'View' tab -> Reset All Folders
