Michael,
Vista supplies a junction for C:\Documents and Settings which points to \username\.
Within that folder is the junction My Documents which points to Vista's Documents
folder. So have you tried simply copying your old graphics sub folder to your Vista
Documents folder, in effect completing the old path? If the username is the same in
Vista as it was in XP, maybe WP will find your graphics. It's a long shot but easy
to try.
There is more info on junctions on the Web, for example:
