Wrong Common Tasks for Folders

Hi, I'm having trouble with the "My Pictures" folder... it thinks that the folder is containing media files so the "view slideshow", "print pictures", etc. options have been replaced with "play all" and "shop for music online" options. How do I get the folder to show common tasks for pictures and not media files. I tried looking it up but couldn't find a solution. Also I want to keep the "My Pictures" folder so a solution like creating a new folder like "My Pictures2" wouldn't work for me.... If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

p.s. The folder did used to show common tasks for pictures but I don't what happened that made it show common tasks for media files. Also I only have pictures and subfolders of pictures inside the folder.

Have you tried
Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View
“Reset all Folders”
 
OR
Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options.
On the General tab, under Tasks, uncheck “Show common tasks in folders”.
Reboot then go back and recheck it
 
Scroll down to "Special Folders"
