Changing folder destinations

[taffprune89]

Hello, how do i change the destination of a folder?

For example, i want "My Music" to go to a different folder somewhere else on my computer, so how do i change the destination address?

I used to be able to do it but i have completely forgotten now.

I am on Windows XP Pro.


Thanks

Well thanks very much for your help, i have already spent ages searching on Google and like i said i used to be able to do it years ago, probably on a different version of windows.


Can anyone else help?

Not tried it mate but found this :

Open a My Computer window and navigate to the location where you'd like My Music (or My Pictures) to reside. Then, open the My Documents folder in a different window. Drag the My Music (or My Pictures) folder to the other window, and Windows XP will update all of the references to that folder to the new location, including the Start menu.

Basically just drag and drop and Windows does the rest.

lol - djr the address did look like you trying to be a bit of a smart arse by pointing him just to the Google search page !! lol.
No wonder he thought you were taking the piss ROFL. Must admit I didn't realise till you pointed it out that it actually takes you to a results page.

You can change the destinations of all folders AFAIK with the Windows XP Powertoys

The one you need is TweakUI (I think)
