iPod_Control is a hidden folder. so you may have "show hidden files and folders" selected on the desktop, but not on the laptop.

on the laptop, open "My Computer" and go "Tools > Folder options". click on the view tab.

in the "Advanced settings" list, open the "Hidden files and folders" folder, and select "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.

do you see the iPod_Control folder on the laptop now?
