Vista - Unable to change personal folders locations

Hi,
I have all my documents and such stored on an external hardrive. everything
was properly linked in my personal folders to correct locations, recently
they reverted back to C:\Users\...\Documents and I dont have the ability to
redirect them back to the external drive. My files are still there but
applications are saving to the default location

any help would be greatly appreciated

Click the "new" start button - right click Documents and select properties
click the Location Tab and change it there. Worked for me on Business 64.

I tried that and under location no buttons are there to move or restore...
the location is listed and I cannot edit it in any way (I can copy it fwiw)
