Default Special Folders

Hi Keith,

Open the "My Documents" folder. Right-click on the "My Music" folder, and choose "Cut". Open the destination path (the parent folder to where you want place the "My Music folder".) Right-click and choose "Paste"

This moves the "My Music" folder, and updates the Shell folder paths in the registry automatically.

I am running out of space on the drive which holds 'My Documents', I have
therefore created a folder called 'My Music' on another drive with far more
free space and moved all my music into it.

What I want to do now is to use this new folder as 'My Music' as opposed to
the old 'My Music' folder within 'My Documents', I know this is possible as
I did it once before on a previous PC, can anyone remind me please?

I am running Windows XP with SP2.

Thanks

Keith
