Re-directing Start Menu target folder

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have "My Documents" stored on a separate D:\ drive and want to direct the
Start Menu shortcuts for Favourites, My Music etc to the appropriate folders
in My Documents, on the D:\ drive instead of the default on C:\. I've been
able to customise the My Documents shortcut as it's possible to change the
target folder location from the Desktop icon, right click properties
dialogue. However, I can't find any way of doing the same with the other
Start Menu shortcuts.

I'm sure I had it set up like this before I recently re-formatted, but can't
remember how I did it. Possibly, I need to change the shortcut(s) in the C:\
drive Start Menu folder.

Can anyone assist, please ?

Regards.

Mike
