I'm in the process of moving my digital photos away from my C: drive onto a new drive just for them...I'm sure they will be happy with all of the extra space. But, I currently have them stored in subfolders of "My Pictures" in the "My Documents" folder. Is there a way I can tell XP to re-point the "My Pictures" button on, say, the Start Menu to go to a different location?
 
You can re-direct the whole my documents folder by right clicking on it and selecting the target. I highly recommend this method.

If you just want to move a single special folder, I think tweak UI will do one at a time.
 
Excellent! That's just what I needed (just what I needed!).

Bonus points for people who ID the song/artist I just parodied. :)

In follow-up, I assume I would need to move the contents of my My Documents folder to their new location, then point the OS in the right direction?
