´My Music´ folder and ´My Images´ folder are not displaying the
correct task pane template and do not have the correct collumns in
detail view. I have tried fixing the desktop.ini file but it didn´t
work (according to Douglas´ tip):

Furthermore, ´My Programs´ folder and the root directory (C:\) are
displaying a music type task pane template with music related collumns
in detail view. I believe this is the cause of slow listing of it´s
contents since it uselessly tries to gather Author, CD Title, etc
fields.

Go here:

Line #2, left-hand column.

This will result in the loss of saved folder views, but they are what is causing the problem in the first place.
