when I try to put music it goes on the desktop and in the other 3 folders
of course I made property I looked for the target try to move the files but it doesn't work there is always writing
""""a folder is installed """and you cannot take it out you cannot move IMPORTANT FOLDER

First check if icons are hidden by right-clicking the desktop, selecting View, and checking Show desktop iconsfirst check if icons are hidden by right-clicking the desktop, selecting View, and checking Show desktop icons
Right-click on the IMPORTANT FOLDER icon in the taskbar or quick list. Choose Unpin from Quick Access or Remove from Quick List. This will make it go away from that small list.
Turn Quick access suggestions back on (if it’s empty)
- File Explorer → … (three dots) → Options.
- Under General → Privacy, enable:
- Show recently used files
- Show frequently used folders
- Click Clear (to reset history), then OK.
Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, select "Personalize" > "Themes" > "Desktop icon settings", then re-check and apply icons such as "Computer" and "Recycle Bin" to restore them.
