How do I Change the certain system folders to point to a new locat

[Guest]

Hi, I have 2 profiles on my PC for 2 different users, myself and my wife.....

I would like to move the following folders to a new drive:-

My Favourites - New Location on the D: drive for both profiles
My Music - Shared Location on the D: drive for both profiles
My Video - New Location on the D: drive for both profiles
My Pictures - New Location on the D: drive for both profiles

Can anyone tell me how I change the icons in the start menu to point to the
new locations??

Hi John,

TweakUI can redirect the shell folders to a different path. You can download
TweakUI from here.

TweakUI v2.10 for Windows XP SP1/XP MCE/2003 [147 KB].
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Install TweakUI and run it. Expand the "My Computer" section and then click
"Special Folders". Select the special folder from the drop down list box,
and relocate it to your preferred path.
