Re: Changing default folder locations??

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Forget the registry mods ... use TweakUI XP and you get it all.

You know the option to change the actual location of the 'My Documents'
folder in XP...well, is there any way to do the same for the pictures,
music and video folders? As far as I know, there is not a similar option
for those folders. Instead, they all default to 'My Documents\My
[Pictures/Music/Videos]'.

The fact is that: having a dual boot system with Vista, I have all of my
personal files under one separate directory (partition). So, I decided to
rearrange my folder structure, under that same directory, from this:
'D:\My Documents\My [Pictures/Music/Videos]' to this 'D:\
[Documents/Pictures/Music/Videos]', since Vista offers individual location
settings for the default user folders. So, is XP actually unable to locate
music, pictures and videos outside the 'My Documents' folder, or is there
something I'm overlooking?
