Wink Is there a way to change the default location of My Pictures/My Music folders in XP?


We have an option to change the default location of the user's My Documents folder in XP.

Most of us also store our pictures, videos, and music in different folders.
Is there a way to alter the location of the 'My Pictures', 'My Videos', etc folders to point to where we actually store our loot?
If anyone does know, please share this with us, since for most of us, our subfolders in My Documents go waste...

It is very simple.
Method 1:

Done !!!


Second method:

Done!!

If you want to change locations of My Music, My Pictures, etc folders to different folders, then open regedit and goto:

Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
And in right-side pane, change the desired paths.
