Location setting inconsistent

I changed the Location of my special folders (music, documents, pictures,
etc...). I did this by right-clicking and selecting properties of the folder
and then changing the path on the Location tab. I originally did this from
my User directory...

c:\Users\BigB\Music

The first time I did this it appeared to work. However when I right-clicked
the folder again the Location tab was no longer available. Additionally the
file listing was not consistent with the folder I had pointed it to - still
was showing the old one. (same instance of Windows Explorer)

When I try the same thing from the Start menu - right-click, etc... the
location tab appears and the file listing is accurate.

Shouldnt the properties of Music from the start menu be the same as the
properties of Music located in my User folder? And shouldnt the file listing
be the same?
