Links in start menu not working. Any solution?

M

Mark McDonough

I have Windows vista and also 2 hard drives on my notebook. I went to
transfer all my music and pictures to the 2nd hard drive and now the start
menu buttons for music and videos do nothing. When I go into "Customise
Start Menu" the option to "Display as link" for music and pictures is not
even there.How do I make these buttons recognise the new location for the
music and pictures?

Thanks in advance
