Windows "My Docs" system folder?

Question

For some reason, the settings in the shortcut to "my documents" have changed. Normally when i open "My Docs"I can right click the screen and "arrange icons by">modified>show in groups. But now i have a musical note in the bottom right corner and the options have changed to "Artist, album title, etc. the properties dont have the customising tab and if i delete the shortcut it just comes back the same. When i click on find target the properties on the target folder are ok giving the option i require, its just the main shortcut one thats the problem.
System restore wasn't any help!
thanks for any input
