Awww, Malke, that's way too simple. (Smile.)

Actually, the OP could also place a "My Pictures 250"
shortcut pointing to the roomy drive's new My Pictures folder
into the C drive's My Documents folder. Then, instead of
hyperlinking, he/she could simply click on the "My
Pictures 250" shortcut to immediately jump to the big
drive. At least, it seems like this approach would work.
