Solved relocated My Pictures to a drive not a file

[jjex22]

Hi all, I'm just setting up my new windows 7 (on an old machine, but what the heck, it feels new now!) I have successfully moved program files and users from the C drive to the D drive, but was now aditionally moving My Pictures and My Music to the F drive as these folders take up so much room. My music went fine, but when i was setting the 'move' location for My Pictures i forgot to set it as F:\My Pictures and accidentally set it as F:\, so now My pictures are just dumped all over the F drive. How do I now move My Pictures to the new location as I don't have the 'My Pictures' folder to click on and edit location of any more?

Many thanks all!

You should be able to put all of the pictures back into a folder of your designation, and then right click on your "Pictures" menu item in the start menu, then choose properties. This should allow you to add / remove locations for this library.
