I have recently acquired a cheap but small hard-drive, because i was running out of space. however there has been a slight hiccup. i put the new hard drive as a slave, and i cut all my document across to this new hard drive however my music was to big so i left that in my master drive. after resetting the destination of my documents on the start menu. it also changed the destination of my music to the E drive where none of my music is. so finally my question how do i change the destination of my music on my start menu:confused:
 
Are you running windows XP? I will assume so.

1. Download Tweakui from Microsoft.

2. install it, and then go to Start>Run and type tweakui

3. Then towards the bottom of the list on the windows that pops up there should be something like "special folders" and "My Music" should be listed there.
 
Yes I don't have any life but Programming for class from Friday to Monday. :D So I'm on a lot over the weekend. :D

And your welcome I was just trying to remember from when I did it a while ago, becuase I was at school and couldn't check but I forgot a step. :P
 
here is the easy built in way to do this...

(if you are running xp)

click on start, then move up the mouse to my documents > right click and select properties

Change the target to the new HD

and voila

from now on every file will be moved and saved to that destination for your my documents

for example on my home computer my documents is mapped to my I:\ drive so if C:\ ever crashes and dies all my user data is mapped to a completely different drive.

Yes I know about that way also but he just wanted My Music not all of my documents.

Yeah I have an idea,

In Tweak UI left click on the the "Logon" folder (Third from the bottom) don't expand it but just click on it and then on the left should be something about what users to show on the welcome screen. :) Hope that helps! :)
