Vista Tutorial - File Location for Photo Gallery

Hi all
With Vista I am hoping to use the Photogallery and Media Center tools rather
than the miscellaneous software products that came with the devices used in
XP..
Photogallery for example seems to point to the following folder.
C:\Users\Public\Pictures

I have a big problem with keeping any volume data on the C drive and would
like to store all my multimedia data in a location of my choice, in the long
probably on a NAS device shared across my home network
I would be grateful for some advice on how to make the Photogallersy
software look elsewhere or relocate the Users/Publlic folders, preferably
the latter

You can add ANY location of your files to the gallery. If the drive you
adding is external, you may have problems with editing those pictures in the
gallery and saving them to the same location (read-only). If you add files
from CD or DVD, gallery will ask you to import those pictures to your hard
drive and you can select any location on your machine to save those files to.
That location will be automatically added to the Gallery.
To add files to your gallery (no matter what their location is), click File
> Add files to gallery. Then, select the drive where you store your files you
want to add.
