Re: Link to Document and Pictures on Windows menu

My Pictures and My Documents are there for legacy purposes. Just leave them
alone. Vista does not use them. The "My" prefix from XP has been dropped
in Vista. Use Pictures and Documents.

Re: Link to Document and Pictures on Windows menu

Right-click on the Documents link in the Start menu, and choose Properties.
Click the Location tab. You can set the location in the text box provided,
or click "Restore Default" to revert back to the default location. By
default it points to the following folder:

C:\Users\{username}\Documents
