My Music and My Pictures... how to...
Can someone tell me if there is a way to change the folder that photos and music are stored when using My Pictures and My Music in XP???
I have a second hard drive for storage and want to keep them in there, but would like to utilize the My Pictures and My Music folders... |

Probably the simplest way to do it is to use Tweak UI for XP and change the shell folders location (My Computer > Special Folders).

You can move your entire My Documents structure by right clicking on it, properties, move. My Music and My Pictures are subfolders of My Documents.

no, i have it done on my system. but dont forget to take regular backups of your data so you dont lose it ever. I have all my music and photos on my 2nd internal HD, (not the one with the OS), but then i also have an external HD which i regularly back the whole my documents folder to.

No drawbacks - doing it this way keeps the pointers sorted in all programs that use that structure. It actually makes backups easier.
