My Documents/My Pictures etc

[Xander]

Hiiii. I recently got a new hard drive so I can just have all my files on that one, and keep just windows and programs on C. But in Windows like on the start bar and stuff I have the default My Music and My Documents folders which it automatically creates and always seems to use as the default folder for stuff.

And I can drag my own shortcuts for the folders on the new drive anywhere, yeah, but I wondered if theres a way to change the default destination for those folders like.. the ones above control panel etc, on the right of the start bar in windows XP

I hope it makes sense what Im getting at. xD I wanna be able to like use the new drive as default location but Windows always wants to chuck everything on C. Perhaps there is no way around this though.

See, I once went into most programs (such as WMP) where Windows would use the folders in My Documents as the default (My Music for ripping from WMP). And I changed the settings so that it would rip my music on a different drive.

It's futile! Sooner or later it always just goes back to the default in My Documents.

You can move your My Documents Folder by right-clicking it on your desktop and changing the destination.

For the My Music and My Pictures TweakUI might just do it, but I doubt it as Windows likes to play difficult

I thought My Music/Pictures are subfolders of wherever you stick the My Documents folder?
