Hello

Today I noticed on my computer that when i open the start menu and open
the folder with my name tristan on it, the music folder no longer has
the cool, blue looking icon, instead it has the standard folder icon.

Why? How can I fix it?

I recently downloaded limewire and itunes, does this have something to
do with it?

This happens if the Desktop.ini file in the Music folder is
missing/incorrect or lost the RO attribute. See:
