Glad to hear things are sorted out. It's good that you hadn't emptied the
Bin. For example, permanently deleting the My Music junction in the Recycle
Bin would have deleted your Music folder and its contents, and the Music
folder and its contents would not have gone into the Recycle Bin.

Yes, Vista has some elements like Junction Points and Symbolic Links that
can be kind of puzzling. Basically they are "re-directories", that tell
programs where the new locations for folders are in Vista, as well as what
the new names are.
