System folders

Hi,

Is there a way to change the location of the system folders like "My Music" and "My Pictures". The reason I want to change the location is because most of my music and pics are on a second, larger hard disk.

Thanks.
Ori
 
I'm at school on an iMac right now, but I think I know how to do that, I'll post how to do that, unless someone else tells you first...

P.S Welcome to Xp-erience! :) :D
 
make a search in regedit for "my music" and "my pictures"
then edit the entries by putting new locations

copy folders to new locations

reboot

delete old locations

i did it this way and it worked

:)
 
It's very simple. Just cut 'n' paste them to a new location.

if you have Tweakui you can do it from there. go under the My Computer tab you can change the location of folder lacations from there.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
