Telling Windows which folder to use as a default 'pictures' folder

[Guest]

I run Windows on my home network and instead of having separate image, video
etc folders on each computer, I keep all of my images on my main desktop and
then share the folder across the network.

When I'm using my other computers and I click on 'insert image' or similar
from most programs it automatically takes me to the default 'My Images'
folder Windows created when it was first installed. How can I tell Windows
which folder I want to to use as my 'pictures' folder or my 'videos' folder?

Get TweakUI for Windows XP from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

You can get some or all of the other Power Toys if you want them but
the one you need in order to Tweak the User Interface is TweakUI.

Good luck
