Moving user folders

Hi guys
I moved the location of my user folders (docs,music,pics etc) to D drive but i have other folders i created myself in there which i also want to relocate but there is no location tab in properties.I can cut and paste these to D: but i would like to leave a link folder in the users directory. How do i go about this please its driving me insane

Thankyou in advance

Move folders to the desired location (D), then create a shortcut to each of them in your users folder.

As pbcopter has said just create a shortcut:

Right click >> New >> Shortcut >>
Type a name for the shortcut and location to the d:\ drive (e.g. D:\My Music\)

Hope This Helps.
