Re create My Music folder

[Guest]

Problem with iTunes not able to create or locate My Music folder.
Folder was deleted some time ago when music xferred to Extl hard drive. This
drive crashed & is no longer in use.
I have created folder in My Docs & corrected ' paths ' in registry for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER Shell/User Shell folders but still iTunes can't find
folder.
Are there others ' paths ' in registry that I need to correct.?

Any help would be appreciated as Xma gift for daughter ( Ipod ) still
unusable !

If you don't already have it, download and run TweakUI - one of the XP
powertoys: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Run it and expand the My Computer section. Look in the Special folders
area. Use the drop down box to highlight My Music. Change the location
to what you want. See if that helps.

Rock,
Thanks for info, I had just posted reply to Chas when I saw your comments.
I had tried ' Tweak UI ' but unfortunately ' My Music ' folder was not
listed in Special Folders..
Thanks anyway
