Duchie,
The path is incorrectly set. It should be:
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures
*not* %USERPROFILE%\My Pictures
Refer the table here.
Reset the Shell Folders paths to defaults:

Duchie,
Sorry! You need to fix the "My Pictures" shell folder data, not "My
Music".
Also, if the My Pictures folder does not already exist, create one under
"My
Documents".
If that does not help, export the following registry branch and include
the
data in your reply.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Explorer \ User Shell Folders

OK...I tried that and I could see where the My Pictures folder is.....I
reset
the folder path but I still don't see it on the right side of my Start
menu......do I need to create that folder again? I made a new picture
folder
in my documents but when I click on it's properties it is not a target
folder
like the My music one is.....I hope this makes sense......so what do I
need
to do to completely restore a target folder that was moved and is not
longer
available?

By accident I moved the My Pictures folder to my external hard drive...I
had
only wantwd to copy it to there.....I cannot simply move it back as it
has
been several months and that drive is now dead......is it possible to
restore
that folder so it shows up on the right side of my start menu again like
the
My Music folder?
