"broken" documents and pictures folders in the User map

hi there,
to keep the story short: my documents and pictures folders don't work as they should, that is: they don't have the location tab anymore and basically are regular maps. This happened after I had targeted them to a map on another drive. The map on the other drive also became a map without the location options.
Does anyone know how to restore/recover the default maps in the user folder so I can use these two folders again?
tyia!

Nothing happens when you click on a shell folder link in the Windows Vista Start menu:
