"My Pictures" folder

G

Guest

I store all my photos on a different drive. The "My Pictures" folder off of the "Start" menu uses the C:\Documents and Settings\ location to store pictures. How can I re-direct the "My Pictures" folder to a different drive? When I right click/properties, it doesn't allow me to change it. Anybody? Thanks

Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "My Computer" and click on "Special Folders".
You can easily change the location of the folders there.
