How do I change de directory for my user folder??

Hello, I'm from latino america and i have this question. Sorry if my english
is not so good ok?

Well, the thing is that I decide to change de directory of Documents, Music,
Video and all that stuff, using the -Properties, Ubication...- And that work
pretty well. The problem is when I go to the Start menu (for example) and try
to open my user file (the button right down of the users picture). I found
that the folder that opens is the one that is in C:\ and the new I created is
in D:\

What can I do about that, I want to open that new folder in D:\ with that
button. Or, in other words, I wanna make that folder the principal for my
acount.

Please I need to do this because my C:\ disk is full!!!

Right-click on the Start Menu entry. Choose Properties then the Location
tab
Change C: to D: and then click the Move button.

There isn't a properties option. But thanks anyway.
