Help with messed up "Pictures" and "Music" target relocation

I have Vista Business SP1 and I keep "Documents", "Music" and "Pictures" from under the start menu on a separate partition. I went into the properties for each and changed the target for "Documents" to D:/, "Music" to D:/Music, and "Pictures" to D:/Pictures.
Something happened, however, where the music and pictures target became combined and there is two "Music" links under Documents in the start menu instead of one "Pictures" and one "Music". If I try to change the target of one of the "Musics" to where "Pictures" is suppose to be then both of them change to "Pictures" and I have two "Pictures" there instead.
Can someone explain to me how to fix this? When changing the targets it asks if I want to copy the contents of the original location to the new or I will end up with two "Music" or "Pictures" under my username that is also under the start menu. I'm thinking this is what happened even though I thought I did it the right way to prevent this.

For anyone else who may find themselves in this situation the only way I could figure out a way to fix it was to create a new Administrator account and delete the messed up one. Then redo the targets.
