I am running Vista RC1.... How do i change the location of my Public / Common
folders. eg Pictures, Documents, Videos & Music... When i go into the
properties of the Public Pictures Folder it says i can change it but it does
no have the same buttons as my personal Pictures folder.... I have even
changes the registery key at
HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\exporere\Shell Folders and then
rebooted but this seems to have dont nothing... Please help as i have many
