Just wondering why when I copy My Music folder from PC over to the NAS unit it shows up as Music?
How would I get the My Music folder with icon the same way as it looks on the PC on the NAS?
This also happens to My Videos, My Pictures and My Documents

This depends on which version of Windows you are using.

If you are on WinXP for example: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310147

I'm talking about the folder showing up on the NAS I copy the whole My Music folder over from the PC to the NAS but on the NAS shows up as a plain folder Music

Just had a look mate and I couldn't get it sorry.  I am working off an iMac through means of a virtual Windows though.

When redirecting the My Music folders onto the DNS 343 it loses it's icon image.  The only alternative is to hide the actual My Music somewhere, where it is out of the way, and create a shortcut where you want the My Music to be displayed with the proper icon image on the DNS.  Link the shortcut to the My Music folder that you have hidden somewhere else on the DNS (it will prompt you to do so when creating the shortcut).  Once linked, right click the shortcut and click properties.  Then click change icon (you can only do this to shortcuts and not actual folders) and select the icon image you want... So it is just a matter of finding the music folder picture in that list.  Click apply and ok.
Not the real deal but looks authentic.

Don't know why it matters what the folder looks like but hey, I'll try help out with whatever weird needs
