disable Sample Music shortcut

Good Afternoon

In XP Pro I use the "My Music" folder under My Documents. It's great except what is the deal with the Sample Music shortcut?? I keep deleting it. Then like 2 weeks later it sneaks back in and pollutes my beautifully organized music collection. It links over to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Music". How do i disable that unwanted peice of trash shortcut?

Thanks!

note: i just went in and deleted the entire C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music folder and the Sample Shortcut. maybe that'll keep it from creating a shortcut. However I'd still appreciate your comments, especially if someone has a more "preffered" method...

Hello trevorhartman =)

i think that it cannot create itself..... u shud be having a music player like either WMP.... that is set to create this folder...... and as soon as u open this player.... it recreate this folder again !!!

Like say that i open WMP and in its Tools>Options>Copy Music> the location is set to C:\Documents and Settings\My Music
so whenever i open WMP it create a folder called Playlist even when i delete it everytime.... so can be possible a similar thing is happening with u :)

!! GOOD LUCK !!
