Go to C:\Users\your username\Music.
Right click the Music folder, select the Properties / Location Tab.
Click the Move Button and navigate to where you want to move the folder.

Repeat these steps for the C:\Users\your username\Pictures folder.

Something must have gone wrong as the shortcut says something like "the
object has been moved to an other location. This shortcut does not work". How
do you undo the move?
Thanks

Re: Moving files

Which shortcut are you looking at?

If this is the shortcut that is on the right side of the Start Menu, right
click the shortcut, select Properties/Location Tab. What is the path to the
folder shown there?

If you want to move a folder back to it's original location, there is a
'Restore Default' button on the Location Tab.
