[DM-MUG] Missing folder in ipod

[Roses Derise]

Cool, Darcy! Thank you! I especially appreciate all that time it took to
write all that down. Very kind of you.

Regarding the antivirus software, first I tried MaAffee, then Windows One
Care. I don't know what happened to the McAffee, but its the Windows Onecare
that seems to have been downloading when it got stuck.
