When I first installed the platform, I decided to delete the music and video folders, then changed my mind and replaced them from the trash. Now the quick link on the platform doesn't work. The *.ini file looks ok.
Anyone know how to fix this without a reinstall? Thanks.

If the names match (which they should as you got them from the recycle bin), it should work.
Whats wrong with reinstalling though? If you're worried about your settings - they will all be preserved except for the autorun file.

Where did you install the Platform to? The root of a drive (e.g.
X:\with PortableApps inX:\PortableApps\AppNamePortablefolders), or a subfolder (e.g.X:\SubFolder\with PortableApps inX:\SubFolder\PortableApps\AppNamePortablefolders)The
Documentsfolder should be in the folder that you installed to Platform to (X:\Documentsif installed to the root of the drive,X:\SubFolder\Documentsif installed toX:\SubFolder\), and theMusicandVideosfolders should be in theDocumentsfolder (Note: newer versions of the Platform use a "Videos" folder while older versions use the "Video" folder)Hope that's helpful.
Also as Simeon said, installing the Platform over your current install will not harm your settings, it will rebuild the folder structure (placing the
Documents,MusicandVideosfolders in their proper places), and it will replace theAutorun.inffile in the folder you installed to (preferably the drive's root) which (if installed to the drive's root) will reset the label of the drive to "PortableApps.com", but that's easy to change again if you want to.~3D1T0R
