Shared Music Folder Icon

I'm having a "blitz" on all those little problems on my PC. The last remaining one is inconsequential, but is being stubborn. It's getting personal.
The "Shared Music" folder doesn't show the usual special icon, with a musical note in it.
This is, for want of a better word, controlled by a normally-hidden configuration file called "desktop.ini" in the folder. The text of this is ...
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12689
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=-237
LocalizedResourceName=@shell32.dll,-28995
This is identical to the "desktop.ini" file in the "My Music" folder, which does have the correct icon.
However, for some reason, it doesn't work with the "Shared Music" folder.
I know that it doesn't really matter. There's nothing in this folder and probably never will be. But I'd just like to know what I'm doing wrong.

If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?
