You can't.

It's designed not to be altered. Only MS knows how and only MS can change it.

common... there has to be a way
you can adjust almost everything in windows

The keyword here is "almost". This is one that cannot be changed.

I was just trying to do the same thing. I use my 'D' drive
to store my files. So the My Documents link doesn't take
me to the right location. Can I change the path to the My
Documents Shortcut that shows up in the menu?

Move, not copy, My Docs whereever you want it.

try tweakUI, one of the tweaks there is changing the location of special
folders, it is under the 'my computer' tab
